Should You Remove Strawberry Blossoms After Planting?

Removing flowers from strawberry plants is recommended for spring planting.🍓🌱

This allows the plant’s energy to focus on developing a strong root system and healthy leaves, which translates to better yields in the following years.

In other words, it’s worth sacrificing the flower clusters on newly planted plants, which due to a weak root system would not result in a large quantity of healthy fruits anyway.

For spring-planted everbearing strawberry varieties, pruning the first flowers is mandatory.
