Do strawberry's grow on a vine or in a field?
If you have a field, go with it. If not, a strawberry pot is perfect. I actually made homemade pots and hung them along my veranda, they're hanging baskets with various shapes cut out, and the strawberries hang from that. It works just fine. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't grow something in a pot, because if you can grow it in dirt, you can. Good luck! Trilli
Reply:Strawberries are not vines, they are low growing plants that multiply by runners. When seen hanging from a barrel or hanging basket they give the impression of a climbing plant,but strawberries do not/ can not climb.
Reply:You can have a field of strawberries, but they start out as little stubby shrubby babies and put out runners. Some people plant them in terracotta [unglazed red pottery] strawberry barrels on their veranda, where you plant each little guy in kind of mouth-shaped lippy holes in the barrel and then pick the berries as they dangle down from each plant. So yes, a kind of vine [runners that don't climb anything like a regular vine] but one that sprawls along the ground--white flowers followed by little green berries and then [wait for it] big red %26amp; juicy berries fit for anything. Double cream with mine, OK?
Reply:Wild strawberries grow on a vine that creeps along the ground. These vines appear in fields, driveways, etc.
Reply:there's such a thing as a strawberry tree believe it or not. i saw it on hgtv yesterday. someone planted one in their backyard. picked the fruit right off and ate it. yum.
Reply:Both - they grow on vines, and if you have a lot of them they become a field of strawberries growing on vines :)
Reply:Strawberries form runners that spread from the mother plant and set down there own roots and this continues on and on etc. until they cover large areas. Commercial growers cultivate to keep weeds and runners under control, makes picking easier. I like to let mine ramble but my neighbor likes to keep his in tidy rows by removing the runners. RScott
