Comments

Yes,,,they will die back but re appear next year :-) My friend puts hers in pots in the ground to give them some protection,,, mine are always fine though left as they are in strawberry planters.0

Great .....so do you suggest re- potting next yearjoe2cool0

If they're in pots already just gently lift them out when they're fully recovered (early Summer) and if the roots are circling round close to the edge of the pot then re-pot, if not just leave them be. Strawberries don't need deep roots (some people grow them in grow-bags) but it is advised to replace plants every 3 years.0

Strawberries are very hardy. The only thing to avoid is over or under watering.Freedom is the freedom to say that 2+2 = 4 (George Orwell, 1984).

Better to leave them in, not damage roots, make them angry, etc.Freedom is the freedom to say that 2+2 = 4 (George Orwell, 1984).
