Mine all died

Good buy

Dry. Died…

I bought strawberries and all the root balls were dead upon opening the bag. I did try to plant them despite me thinking they were dead....and nothing has happened. It's just a container of dirt and has been since I planted 6 weeks ago. I am very disappointed considering how much these cost.

I bought the strawberry edible 40 rooted plants on March 5th. They were wrapped tightly in a rubber band and looked dead. I planted them and nothing grew out of the 38 plants in bag. It's been 6 weeks and I wasted my time & money. You should not carry a plant that doesn't grow. Judging from the poor reviews no one had good results. :(

We purchased 6 packs of bareroot strawberries (all varieties they sold) at the end of January and spent hours getting them prepped and potted up. Sadly, after a month we have realized that only 10 plants out of 240 are barely growing. These packs must have been sitting for so long that the bareroot plants dried out and died before hitting the shelves. Unfortunately, I threw out the boxes but I will try to return them because that is a lot of money to waste on dead plants. Next time I'll skip these.

Let me start by saying I have started bare root strawberries before and know what to expect. First of all, there were not 40 plants. I very slowly worked to separate the root mass to find each plant. Some were so tiny that it was VERY hard to find the crowns. I found 19 good starts and 14 very tiny poor starts. I don't expect to get more than 25 survivors from this batch in spite of starting them indoors with meticulous care. Lastly, the label says these produce mid to late summer, however when researching Ozark strawberries online I found they are an everbearing. I would not have purchased them knowing that. I have not had good success with everbearing in the past.

I bought the Members Mark Grow Your Own Strawberry (40 Rooted Plants). They looked dead when I opened the package. I was hoping they would still grow. I have given them a couple of weeks with no good results. I have never bought roots to plant and will never again. I will stick to the live plants.

3 stars because Sam's Club brought in unique varieties (I bought the Purple Passion Asparagus and White Carolina Pineberries aka Pink Strawberries). Know that you may not be buying healthy, viable bare roots. I opened the bags when I got home and the bare roots in both bags were stressed and in need of water, and the asparagus roots were covered in mold... Most all of the pineberry bare roots were able to be revived after soaking them in water. I walk through these details in my full product review, which includes videos of unboxing/unbagging, on my YouTube channel @SamsClubReviewGal (enthusiastic customer, not affiliated with Sam's Club).
