Should I Cut My Strawberry Plants Back For Winter?
Cutting strawberry plants back for winter makes sense for June-bearing varieties after their final harvest, because it removes old foliage and helps reduce pests and diseases. It is generally not recommended for everbearing or day-neutral types that keep producing into fall, or if pruning would expose crowns to frost too late in the season. The right choice depends on your strawberry type, climate, plant health, and timing.
