Strawberry Plants
Question:
On yesterday's screening of the BBC TV programme "The Great British Village Show" by Alan Titchmarch, a lady making strawberry jam is shown picking the strawberries from an avenue of plants growing at shoulder height. IE the plants appear to be growing at the top of a tree trunk. Is it likely that what were shown were simply containers mounted on wooden posts or have plants been developed that grow at shoulder height.
Answer:
I didn't catch The Great British Village Show but I'm sure that the strawberries must have been grown in raised containers or hanging baskets. Elevating the plants means that the fruits are not resting on soil and are therefore less likely to rot. They are also easier to harvest. Looks like an excellent idea.
