I have been growing these for two years now. The flavor of both is exceptional. Pineberries have a tart-sweet flavor, sort of like pineapple, hence the name, but not really. It is a unique flavor. I have found that White D is the best cultivar. Growing large and prolific producer of white berries. It is difficult to tell when these white strawberries are ripe. Seeds are mostly red, and a slight tinge of red on the surface. These berries here, are ripe.


Musk Strawberries taste like alpine, except the flavor is more intense. Also have a creamy texture. You need two cultivars, or a male plant to produce. Not a large producer. But the berries are super unique. They have an almost red metallic look.


Both are soft berries. I freeze damaged berries for jam, or cooking. It's easy to damage them. Over ripe berries still taste pretty good. Birds and snails love the pineberries. I have had to net them.

I grow June, everybearing, musk, pineberry, red and white alpines. Here today's harvest.
