Why are my strawberries drying up before they mature?

  Bay of Plenty
  January

Q.

Why are all my strawberries drying up before they mature. There are dozens of flowers and beautiful green leaves but no maturing fruit.

Maxine Gribble

A.

Hi Maxine, possible causes include poor pollination, drying out between watering and inconsistent watering (either too much or too little). Use a mulch to help conserve soil moisture and feed regularly with Tui Strawberry Food, which contains potassium to help flowering and fruiting. Water consistently, especially over the summer months as the fruit forms and when heat can cause stress.
