Description

The musk strawberry is native to Europe. Until the beginning of the 19th century, it was the most common strawberry variety in domestic gardens in this country. It was also known as the Vierländer strawberry, as it was mainly grown in the Vierlanden region. In the meantime, cultivated varieties with larger fruits have largely replaced it. Cinnamon strawberries, on the other hand, have a very special aroma. The light pink to red, juicy flesh has a fine nutmeg note in addition to the sweet, aromatic flavor.

Growing tips

To grow strawberries in the garden, you can either plant purchased young plants or take cuttings from existing plants. These are formed on long shoots, so-called stolons. The best planting time is July/August, so the plant has enough time to grow strong for a good harvest the following year. Propagation by seeds is also possible; these are located on the outside of the so-called aggregate nut fruit. During growth and in dry weather (especially during fruiting), strawberries need plenty of water. From May onwards, you can spread straw as mulch between the plants to protect them from moisture and gray mold and to keep weeds at bay.
