The present experiment was carried out during the year 2017-18 for evaluation of different genotypes of strawberry (Fragaria X ananassa Duch.) for morphological characters in the shade house, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture, Mysore. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with five genotypes as treatments replicated four times. The result revealed that, the plant height was maximum (12.30 cm) in variety Barak followed by Crystal (12.00 cm). The genotype Crystal reported highest N-S and E-W plant spread (25.45 cm and 25.55 cm respectively). The highest number of branches was reported in genotype Sweet Charlie (4.11) followed by Winter Dawn (3.70). The number of trifoliate leaves was reported maximum in genotype Winter Dawn (12.30) followed by the genotype Crystal (11.90). The genotype Barak recorded the lowest number of days (31.15) for flower bud initiation whereas the genotype Gili took maximum days (33.06). The number of flowers was found maximum in genotype Winter Dawn and Gili (19.00). Among different genotypes evaluated the Crystal and Winter Dawn accounted maximum morphological parameters of strawberry.
