Yeah, of course, Sequoia is a strawberry cultivar. That's the ticket!!!

Like you say, its a kinder and gentler strawberry!!

Thanks for straightening out for us persephone on civil normality. Or is
that civilphone on a precipice of audacity? Or is it an elephone on a
telephant of cellulosity?

Why did the elephant have his toe nails painted red? So he could hide in a
strawberry patch!!!

You had fruit on Sequoias?
That is really amazing because they are conifers and gymnosperms by
definition cannot have fruit!!!

Chuckle. You DO know Sequoia is a kind of strawberry?

Your other advice is just as accurate conjecture!!!

If such a "window box" was deep enough, it would be too large and too
heavy
to fit in a window!!!

Or maybe not actually IN the window - perhaps below it? On a sturdy
stand? Give the OP credit for some intelligence and ingenuity.

You should stick to trying to grow soccer balls in your nut hut on
fantasy
island!!!

That's unusual language for this normally civil NG.
I'm sorry for your problems.

Planted some strawberry starts in a window box. The plants took off

I read the replies, including "have you gone mad" and your explanation
of why you can't plant in the ground.

"Window box", on the face of it sounds a bit slight (not having seen
the actual box).

If you plant in a container that is DEEP enough !!! and WIDE
enough, you should be able to replicate ground conditions to a great
extent. Make sure that your soil is very well conditioned, and I
don't mean a bag of potting mix from a nursery. (I know you said
"good soil") Use honest dirt, ameliorated with compost, worm
castings, other good stuff. Plenty of sun, judicious watering.

Good luck! Don't give up. Early this year, I planted some Sequoias
from the nursery that were on sale, had fruit on them. After that
fruit ripened, they didn't do squat for months. I was about to pull
them out when they rallied. Conjectu They may have been
hot-house; induced to bear before their time. When their season
came, they produced.
