strawberries on a mission

666 · « **on:** May 31, 2007, 19:08 »

I bought a few strawberry plants about 6 weeks ago. Most has flowered and are now producing fruit. However the other one just seems on a mission to grow 3 massive leaves and stems. It is huge, triple the size of the other plants! Will it ever produce flowers/fruit-it doesn't look like it at the moment. Is there something I could do to help?

Sounds like it found a lot more nitrogen than the others. Possible??

Well it wasn’t my intention if it did find some! They are all planted in an old wheelbarrow with the same compost, hmm.... very strange. Will it ever get around to flowering do you think?

Maybe it was marked up wrong and is a different variety?

Good thinking - maybe it is rhubarb!!

It is certianly a strawberry plant, but it is big enough to be rhubarb!

A different veriety is sounding like the most likley option.
