(Question)
When is the best time to transplant strawberries?
(Answer)
In Ontario, the best time to plant (or transplant) strawberries is in the early spring. Flower buds are usually produced in fall, so if plants are moved then, the plants’ energy is diverted to root production to the detriment of blossoms and fruiting for the next season.
