White strawberries?

[geensug]

Hi everybody
I just heard that there are white strawberries calles 'pineberry' and they seem to taste like pineapples.

Does anybody know about them? Or even better, does anybody know if it is possible to grow them by seeds? Does anybody have some seeds left over for a new gardener in Switzerland? I am very curious about this... ;-)

Sorry if you find any mistakes in my writing - English is not my native language... *lol*

Best regards, geensug

Hy stupo74
Thanks a lot for the link. Unfortunately I live in Switzerland - I am pretty sure they will not send a few seeds to my address. And I relly tried to find a seller of any sorts of white strawberries in my country - no luck with it.

best regards, geensug

Oooh I just googled "Pineberry seeds" and it turns out there is a type of cannabis, a very strong variety apparently, called "Purple Pineberry" - wouldn't want to get the two muddled up! tee hee!

Hey everybody - gee, I hope I will never get some of those seeds... ;-)

I am only looking for eddible white strawberries as a fruit...!!! *g*

Still searching and hoping - hope'll never die.

The plant is disease resistant, but is not very profitable. Due to small-scale farming, small berry size and low yield crop, the Pine berry has been marketed to restaurants, bakeries and wholesale markets.

White strawberries are also known as coastal strawberries.They are grown in glasshouses, turning from green to white and are ripe when the seeds turn dark red.

There are various benefits of hydroponic growing strawberries. They have excellent taste.They grow at a great altitude and have high yields per plant.

White strawberry plants are know as Alpine white strawberry.They do not produce tendrils like standard strawberry plants.White strawberry are grown either from partitioning or seeds and produces fruit during the entire growing season.The white Alpine produces a dozen or more new plants each season.
