Strawberry plants produce the most fruit in their first 2-3 years. My strawberries have produced a lot of berries in their first year. I suggest fertilizing them with a bloom builder fertilizer every 2-3 weeks if granular and slow release or every week for water soluble fertilizer.

I am growing Sequoias for the first time this year. I'm getting a lot of leaves but not many flowers. Thus far, I've gotten about 4 berries/plant. These were originally a 6-pack from OSH. From your site, it sounds like fertilizer helps the flower production? Other sites mention removing the flowers the first year and waiting for the berry production the second year. What are your thoughts? I am also in the Bay Area. Thanks, Jenny Hello,
