Please verify the seller is Hand Picked Nursery and not a different seller! Sometimes, other sellers are substituted. Most of the negative reviews are from people buying from other sellers with inferior roots. The strawberry varieties linked above are 25-CT bare roots for consistency, except where unavailable. Most are available in smaller and larger quantities.
