Having these weird shape fruit issue. Strawberry plants are in container with black plastic cover as mulch.
I did a little google research. found http://www.fruit.cornell.edu/berrytool/strawberry/flowersandfruit/strnubbiness.htm

but I can't really tell what's the cause of it. Pretty sure not Frost injury. Tarnished plant bug? (did not see any bug, small amount mite) Boron deficiency? Poor pollination?

Thought?

Thank you

Alex

Not sure about the bug thing, but my first thought was pollination problem. Hopefully somebody else will be able to figure this one out.
