White Carolina Pineberry Plants - 10 Roots -Bareroot-Pineapple/Strawberry Flavor - Grow Indoors or Out

Let me start this off by prefacing that I didn't get to them until one day after they were delivered into my mailbox. The mailman also bent my package in half in his way of stuffing my mailbox, which broke off a couple of baby shoots coming from a couple runners.With that out of the way, out of the plants I salvaged a day late, 7/10 are now growing and look healthy & great. 2/10 of the plants look dead. 1/10 was rotten and is for sure dead.I simply mixed soil conditioner into an old 7 gal pot with soil I had lying around, and put them all in the deeply watered. They're probably not far enough spaced from one another, but because I lost some, it's probably okay for now. They won't get crowded for a little while.I stuck mine under a 72watt LED grow light I also got off amazon. Look for the VOGEK full spectrum if interested. Within a couple days they have already taken off in growth. Make sure if you do indoors that you have a small fan for circulation, and when putting a saucer under a plant, you make sure that they are never sitting in standing water. That will cause root rot and your white berries will die. One of the biggest ways to kill a plant is noticing that it looks unhappy, so you water it more, but you didn't realize it was unhappy because the roots were rotting from being watered too much already. Let your plants dry out first! Not totally dry out, but your finger shouldn't be touching wet soil if you stick it in the dirt.I would not recommend putting these outside until they get bigger, because I've grown regular strawberries before, and TONS of critters and birds love to snack on them. Some of the other reviewers for this product stated that their outdoor strawberries were eaten. Baby plants are also delicious to a lot of animals, so I highly recommend keeping them indoors until they get bigger. There's also elements you can't control outside such as if the sun is shining too harshly on them for too long, or if they dry out quick, or if it gets too windy, or rains too much. I actually may just keep mine indoors indefinitely so I don't even deal with pests.

None sprouted after I soaked them appropriately and then planted them correctly.

Well we'll see if they're pineberries, but the 11 roots are alive. I soaked the roots immediately upon arrival in room temp water and left them overnight. There are around 60% larger roots and the rest are very skinny and struggled (an example pictured in the top left pot). I've transplanted some to larger planters outside and it seems winter's not done with us so the berries lived through freezing at night. While I held off planting the rest, one surprised us with a flower. If that goes on, we could have pineberries this season.1 month update: 5 of 11 still alive. As I've heard from other sources, pineberries did seem fussier than the (everbearing) strawberries I planted at around the same time, which were shipped the same way but all survived the shipping and my manhandling during the hardening and replanting process.1 year update: We decided to pluck all the flowers before they fruit in order to get more robust plants the following summer. One snowy zone 5 winter later, we have real pine berries. They feel and taste like granny smith apples.To prepare for winter, the plants were repotted with additional compost to top up the soil in 5 gallon black fabric pots. Over winter, the pots sat on a balcony over 1 in styrofoam against the apartment wall. We didn't do any other insulation. Only one plant survived this way so we might need to lay down some hay over the soil for this winter, but the survivor sends out so much runners it filled the pot again and are invading neighboring pots.

A friend and I split the 10 pack of pineberries in half. We both planted them indoors in planters but they were at our respective houses so each half had different growing conditions. One of the roots looked like it had been split in half giving us a total of 11 plants because we planted both. Of the 11 plants, 3 were just dead and never sprouted, 2 sprouted a little and died within a day or two, 5 grew leaves that withered and died, and the final plant is struggling with barely any leaves because the first set died but it put out some new ones that are tiny. We planted them a month ago. We followed the included instructions (with the exception of testing the PH of the soil because we were using fresh potting soil) and have still had such a horrible crop.Can't comment on the flavor because I don't think dead roots would taste very good and haven't gotten nearly enough plant to grow fruit.

All plants are alive, but they are very small compared to the other seller I bought from at the same time.

Planted them, 5 out of 10 came up. Producing nothing but runners. No flowers. Even after I cut the runners, still no flower. I will wait till next year to see what they do. And amend review the

My package came with 12 crowns total (two of which were a bit scrawny). Of the 12 I planted, ten crowns took successfully. Some of the crowns had roots growing at a bit of a sharp angle relative to the crown, but it wasn’t hard to work around, and those plants are still growing in fine.This was my first time planting anything bareroot, but the process was easy enough, and the vendor went above and beyond to include a detailed instructions sheet with “Do”s and “Don’t”s.Huge thanks to the vendor for making these available at a solid price! Looking forward to see how they fruit in the spring.

They never even flowered to give me fruit. Half of my plants did not survive
