I ordered cuttings this year, but the Chico strawberry is the only type I was unsuccessful with. I have quite a few things to trade with. A few are Preto, Gino's black, 143-36, Black Madeira, and Abebereria. All of mine are still in cups, rooted pretty well, and leafed out. Thanks.

Funny you said this. I put all 12 into a pot, every one of them rooted. Email me.

Mine are doing miserable. Yes they had good roots inside the baggie method.

gorgi, sounds almost like my results. All of them grew "Monster" roots it the clear cups but very little green on top. I finally have one that I think is growing and another that might make it. Seems strange that a cutting that so readily roots doesn't like to grow leaves. "gene"

Mine did the same thing with the good roots but no leaves. Very frustrating.

John here is a picture of the one I hope survives, the other is better looking. You can see leaf damage of some sort.

my chico strawberries (2) were also showing magnificent rooting in clear cups while i was preparing to leave on vacation for two weeks. one seemed to go downhill 3-4 days before leaving, and the other was totally dead on return. so, both of my chances for this variety are gone for this year, unless the one that didn't look too bad manages to 'snap out of it'.
