Eariler this year I planted some strawberry plants taken from runners I took. From the ten I took only three have given fruit. Am I correct in thinking that it must be the plant closest to the main plant which should be used, and that the others don't give fruit.

In nature I doubt the plant cares which one of its runners survives or how far away it is, so I think you should be ok as has already been said. Good Luck.

Thank you all for your suggestions regarding my strawberries, I will give them another year and hope for more next year.
