stehaggan Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I've seen them in a few magazines over the last year and was in Wilkos at the weekend. They had 2 bare root plants for £2.29 so I have bough a packet to see how they get on. Has anyone tried them? I have done a bit of googling and have found they taste like pineapple and are nicknamed pineberries. I take it they throw out runners like normal strawbs? So that if they are tasty, I can expand the bed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 We sold them where I work last year - they are nice,but I prefer the usual strawberry taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenanne2 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Apparantly birds tend to leave them alone, which has got to be a big plus - no need to net them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I've grown white alpine strawberries and I do prefer them to the red ones chickens either like them or hate them as for runners the alpine ones don't tend to have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
