I thought they just went red at the end of the season, like autumn leaves, then they go brown and shrivel and die, and you cut them off!Comment

I wouldn't worry LL, they always seem to do this when they've finished fruiting.Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

It's a good idea to cut the foliage back to about an inch above the crown after fruiting stops. This gives them enough time to put out new foliage before winter sets in. Makes for a healthier plant come spring time and it will do well for you.Comment

Doesn't that take away the way they make plant material by photosynthesis and waste energy the plant has stored in its roots?Originally posted by redser View PostComment

No, you cut away the dead and dying leaves and the plants soon put out new fresh green leaves.Originally posted by alldigging View PostComment

I did this last year and my strawberry plants were just as happy this year despite being moved to a new home.Comment
