Description

When the 'Pineberry' strawberry starts to bloom in March and the white flowers attract bees and other insects, you can already look forward to the large, white fruits. From May onwards, the time has come to harvest. The sweet, fruity taste of the fruit is simply unmistakable and is reminiscent of pineapple. The fruits are ideal for making delicious jams or jellies. This strawberry needs a pollinator.

Growing tips

For a good harvest, the 'Pineberry' strawberry should be planted in a sunny location with well-drained, humus-rich garden soil. Under optimal conditions, Fragaria x ananassa 'Pineberry' grows stoloniferous and upright, reaching heights of up to 20 cm and widths of around 30 cm. 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 mould and to keep weeds at bay.
