Alpine strawberries look similar to traditional strawberries, but the fruits are smaller and the plants lack runners. Once established, pineapple crush alpine strawberries will continuously bear fruit from June to October as these plants are day neutral (fruiting is not dependent on the length of day). These plants do not produce runners and therefore are good candidates for containers or raised beds. The plants can be divided every few years to maintain productivity.
This variety is a white variety, which helps deter birds from eating them because they don’t stand out to them like a red variety does. When fully ripe, this berry has a wonderful wild strawberry flavor with hints of pineapple and vanilla flavors as well.
Planting/Harvesting Notes
Locate an area with full sun and well draining, slightly sandy soil. Strawberries prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.5 to 6.8. Plant the strawberries with the crown (the base of the plant where the leaves and strawberries emerge from) above the soil. Covering the crown can make it harder for leaves and strawberries to come out. Water 1 to 1.5 inches weekly. After one year, the plants will establish their roots in the ground and you will get more fruit.
Strawberries are perennials, so they will come back each year. Choose a suitable location long term to plant them and fertilize yearly.
