READ the package — great crowns

These crowns grow right away and produce strawberries the first year. These are strawberry CROWNS for planting OUTSIDE. They come dry and should be soaked %26 separated before planting the crowns at so level — OUTSIDE. Strawberries are not supposed to be planted in tiny seedling containers under grow lights. 🤦‍♀️

Don't buy

None of the ones I planted grew. Later I did some research and found out how sensitive bare root strewberries are and buying them from a big box store where they have been sitting on a shelf with no temperature control is not the way to go.

    DOA

    Bought these in June. They looked dead with dry crowns. I was told they may look like that and that I needed to soak them before planted. I soaked and planted as instructed and not one plant developed any sign of life. Sending the ones I didn't plant back

    guarantee is worthless, company ignores you

    I've bought these strawberries twice before and one out of the three times they grew well.I normally grow three different varieties a year and I these were trash on arrival, dry and crumbling but I plantended saw the guarantee and decided to plant. Well its a month and a halff later and all but three crowns were duds. I contacted the phone number on the back and the company sent an email so that i could send them my reciept, address and the original barcode from the package. its been weeks and no word back. never again its not worth the hastle.

    Poor survivability of strawberry plants

    I bought the strawberry plants oin late February, separated all the roots , and separately planted all roots the same day. Using a grow light and water for each plant, after three weeks only 4 of 40 survived. I took a photo of all plants as they appeared after three weeks of care. I cannot recommend this product to anyone, and probably should request a refund for this purchase.

    Small berries. Not worth it. Get a different type

    Plants all grew, so no problem there. However, this yields the smallest strawberry. I'm talking pea to dime sized strawberries. Taste is not impressive. I know it is not growing conditions, as I have them in a greenhouse and they are all babied. I also ordered the other variety offered here via Sams club, and those strawberries were golf ball sized and delicious. NOT happy with these Ozark "beauties".

    3 years of failure

    I've bought and tried planting these for 3 years straight thinking it was my fault that they never worked. After trying these again and another brand this year I finally had success with the other brand. The roots come too dry and I have never been able to grow a single plant from them. I also usually get 20-25 roots from them instead of 40z most of the roots are very small with about 5 decent sized ones.

    Poor Quality and No Freshness Date

    The strawberry plant pack looked fine in the sealed package, but most of the plants were already dead when I opened it. Only 2–3 had any life left. none of them survived. It also seems like these sit on the shelf for weeks with no expiration or packed‑on date, so you have no idea how old they are. Not worth it.

    No issues with plant

    Growing well on my end. I think people need to look at the instructions thoroughly. Rinse off the roots before planting. Allow the roots touch water while growing. I recommend a good organic potting soil to grow this plant. Leave under the sun for at least 6hours daily. If you are starting the roots inside, get the growing light. The first time I tried planting strawberries didn't go well because of two things: bad roots and not following instructions. I'm sorry if you didn't get 40roots. Mine came in 41 and 42. To my amazement, all roots received are growing well.

    Zero Stars

    If zero stars was an option, these would get it. I bought two packages of two different varieties. NOTHING bloomed. Not a single spot of green. Out of 80 roots. Very disappointing.

    Not very hopeful.

    These strawberries roots were very dry and had no green at all. I do not have high hopes of them sprouting any growth. Also, they were available in my local Sam's store for $3 less per bag than I paid online.

    read the directions and followed them and they all started producing leaves. The less than 5 star review is because I didn't receive 40 roots only 37. the only reason I haven't returned is because they all lived.

    Great deal, and plants are going gangbusters!

    I planted all 40 roots after soaking them overnight in water. This was two weeks ago and they are throwing leaves like crazy in my zone 6b garden. Not sure what's up with all the negative reviews, but they are working great for me!

    4 out of 46 grew

    I followed the instructions exactly. I have a good soil. I have fantastic lights. I put each one in its own pot and they took up so much room. so disappointed.

    Don't buy. Plants not viable

    There were only 5 crowns in bag. Soaked them and planted. The plants were NOT viable. I bought junk. Never again from Sam's Club.

    False Advertising

    Package says "40 rooted plants". Opened up and it is only 4. Never should have gotten them Should have bought from a different store.
