Strawberries from seed from fruit - Veggie - 06-12-2022
I've been given 5 punnets of Sensation strawberries tonight. They're huge - twice the size of some Elsanta strawberries in another punnet.
My question is - what are my chances of growing strawberry plants from fruits and how would you go about it?

I imagine you just pick off the seeds? I have never actually done this, just thinking out loud

I'd bury the fruit and leave it in the cold over winter and bring to a warmer area in early spring. I believe SC has done strawberries, I grew some of her pink strawberries from seed last year. They were very forgiving. I do wonder whether they'll be true to type though as you don't hear about propagating strawberries from seed very often. Probably because they're so easy by runners.

Looking at goggle I'm completely wrong

I can't bury the fruit anyway as its all in jam pots.
I've shaved off some skin and seeds which are drying on a paper towel. Not sure whether I'll pick off the seeds or just plant the skin as well.

I did a quick google last night about it and someone suggested running a couple of berries in a blender to loosen the seeds. That sounds destructive to me - I think the idea of peeling off skin and sowing that is a better idea.

I’ve done it.

I thought you had but was too lazy to search!
What happened to the seedlings? Did they mature and fruit?

Thanks. These Sensation (may be Sweet Sensation) strawberries were the biggest I've seen. Palm of your hand size - 6 in a 280gr punnet. Also had a punnet of Elsanta and the difference was noticeable. Elsanta, small, juicy and overripe - Sensation, large and under ripe, white top, huge leaves. Just hoping the jam sets tonight.
