Lately, we’ve been working on a way to grow strawberries utilizing more vertical space and have come up with a couple of variations of what can only be called a “Strawberry Tree”.

The growing method is the static technique. Plants are started from bare-root stock, stolons, clones and plugs.

 As this project develops, more up-to-date pictures will be added. “After” pictures will be added as the plants grow.  For now, here are a couple of “Before” pictures:
