Some of my strawberries have got these well demarcated brown areas on their leaves. I would say it's affecting about 10% of the strawberry plants.


I have tried looking in Dr Hessayon but can't find anything similar.


Any suggestions?

The particular leaf with the brown bits looks crinkled, as if it has a virus or greenfly.  My strawbs get all sorts of stuff like that but I still get plenty of fruit 
 
Sorry, I don't know a definitive diagnosis    but I'm sure someone will

I've got the same problem and don't know what it is - have been taking off the worst affected.

Me too!  Although I put it down to being burnt in the sun with no water for a few days.  Good crop.

Like Fleecewife, mine get all sorts. As long as the fruits are growing healthy I don't worry. ( maybe I should be more caring  )

I don't think the sun could have caused it - not around here, anyway...

No - definitely not the sun :-))

The birds are stating to show an interest so we'll be netting them this weekend. Good that they've had a good wetting before the (supposed) sun coming at the end of the week :-)

I'm beginning to think it might be some kind of fungus - looked a bit like reddish rust on the underside of the leaves I examined today. But doesn't seem to do any harm to the fruit - so who cares? 

One red strawberry so far - I've put protection over them, too...

It might be spider mite especially if there are find cobwebby bits on the underside of the leaves

Well ours have romped away over the summer and developed into big crowns. Not a huge amount of fruit but they are only year one so am hopeful for a bigger offering next year :-))
