Answer: Strawberry

Strawberries grow close to the ground and their name comes from the practice of putting straw round the plants to stop the fruit getting muddy and eaten by slugs and snails. Each plant will produce clusters of sweet, juicy berries. The plants are at their best for a three year period and really need replacing after that. However, after fruiting every strawberry plant puts out long stems called runners and new, young plants form on these. Put these into pots and cut them away from the mother plant when they have rooted and you get a lot of strawberry plants absolutely free every year.
