I work in a greenhouse on campus, and during the winter I'm always trying to think of new projects. This time around, I was thinking of trying to trellis a strawberry plant - they do send out runners periodically, and I want to see if it'll take.

Has anyone tried this? Any thoughts on the subject?

I'm not sure that would work. Runners are like baby plants and not true vines. Unless you made a vertical system of pots for the strawberries.

I was thinking that, too. Maybe sort of a stacked system of pots with a trellis attached?

That could work. It would also look rather pretty have little pots full of strawberries spaced upside a wall or such.

Man, now I'm all excited. Maybe different varieties are more apt to put out runners? I've heard of species that's all white when mature...ooh.
