Pruning mara des bois strawberry — FAQ
When should I prune mara des bois strawberry?
Main renovation in autumn (October–November); runner removal throughout the growing season. In autumn after the last flush, cut all foliage back to 10 cm above the crown. Remove spent runners throughout the summer at the base unless propagating. Leave the crown intact. Replace plants every 3 years as the everbearing habit is energetically demanding.
How often does mara des bois strawberry need pruning?
Runner removal as needed during season; full renovation annually in autumn. Mara des Bois is an everbearing variety that crops repeatedly May–October. Post-season renovation in autumn — cutting back foliage and removing runners — keeps it tidy and productive. It produces more runners than June-bearing types; regular runner removal during the season improves fruit size and redirects energy to flowers.
