Should I also do that for this year's runners, or should I leave

them?

Keep the ones you want to replace losses or increase your stock, and

let a
couple more root into pots for contingencies/giving to friends etc,

and lose
the rest.


Sorry, I meant the plants that were runners last year and are now decent
plants growing where I want them, but which haven't done much by way of
fruiting this year, presumably because they've been too busy getting
established. Should I chop their leaves off as well?
