The strawberry plant is a member of the rose family and one of the most popular small fruits in the world. Strawberries can be propagated in raised beds, high tunnels, containers, or hanging baskets, since they are perennial plants.

Strawberry species are divided into two classes, the short-day or June-bearing species and the day-neutral or ever-bearing species.

The June-bearing variety flowers and produces an abundance of fruit in May and June, hence their name.
