Question

Is it ok to plant a small strawberry plant in the same pot as a mandarin tree?

Answer 1

No - strawberries spread like crazy.

Answer 2

Yes you can., but one wiil always overpower the other in taste.

Answer 3

just go out and buy a new pot.

i'd be afraid the roots would get too crowded

Answer 4

Are you talking about a Mandarin Orange? If so, then no problem. Strawberries have shallow roots and won't interfere with the citrus. It will also help with watering, strawberries are a good ground cover and will help retain some moisture in the container. I do this kind of thing all the time with containerized trees.

Answer 5

As long as the pot is large enough for the roots of both, then yes.  In fact, that would look very nice.
