A research trial was carried out in the experimental field of Department of Horticulture, Khalsa College, Amritsar during the year 2015-2016 to evaluate some strawberry cultivars in sub tropical region of Punjab. The runners of five strawberry cultivars i.e.. Chandler, Tioga, Fern, Selva and Blackmore were planted at 30x40 cm apart on the raised beds at three planting times of mid October, end October and mid of November respectively. The design of experiment was Randomised block design (RBD) with factorial arrangement. The results of the study indicated that out of the cultivars tried, the strawberry cv. Chandler proved to be the best in producing maximum number of shoots, leaves, runners and flowers along with yield parameters while strawberry cv. Selva was the least among all these parameters. Out of the times of planting, middle of October proved to be the best in all the parameters.
