How long can I expect my June-bearing strawberry planting to be productive?

Question: 

How long can I expect my June-bearing strawberry planting to be productive?

Answer: 

June-bearing strawberry plantings that are well-maintained and renovated annually should remain productive for 4 or 5 years.  Poorly managed beds may be productive for only 1 or 2 years.  It’s time to plant a new strawberry bed when berry size and numbers decline.
