New Growth on Strawberry Plants
I live in Phoenix, AZ. My strawberries are on the east side and get
afternoon shade. What is causing new growth in the center to get to about one and a half inches and then turn grey - dead. Sometimes another shoot within a half inch remains strong. They looked the same a day or so before??? I keep my bushes clean and they have a light covering of pine straw. They are planted as field berries, with the plant higher and watering from both sides. I water them every other day. No water reaches the core of the plant, and no water stands. I have treated for slugs. I see a few full grown leaves with some kind of bug holes every now and again. But the new shoots are standing tall, not cut off and falling over. I remove them to prevent rot. Any ideas anyone? (I have water lillies and salvia planted here and there in the same bed/ I have no problems with them. |
