The variety of the strawberry plant determines its lifespan, although a properly cared for plant can produce for up to three or four years. June-bearing varieties require annual rejuvenation to remain productive for more than one season.
Regardless of variety, all strawberry plants produce fruit in the same manner, with each flower ultimately turning into a plump juicy berry. The length of time it takes to go from flower to fully ripe fruit depends on plant variety, but is generally about four to five weeks from the appearance of the first petals.ormation of the small white flowers that ultimately become strawberries begins at the end of each year's fruiting season. The strawberry flowers begin as buds that emanate from the crown of the plants. The buds and flowers are delicate and can be destroyed by frost.
