But I don't HAVE any room to plant the runners without severing themt
from mother plant. The strawberry patch is tiny and is fenced
in to keep the )*&*&^%$ squirrels out. Some of the plants
went ape shortly after planting, sending out umpty runners.

Is it quite hopeless to try to sever the runners and plant them
elsewhere?


I have removed and replanted, and it worked.

Come to think of it, so have I -- years ago; had forgotten..

Just make sure that they are showing a little bit of developing roots
before you cut them off.

Thanks to you and Jan Flora who shared this opinion.
