I tripped across a picture and short description of a climbing strawberry plant in a gardening book somewhere, but can't seem to find it again. It looked just like a regular strawberry plant, but it had a vining habit, and grew to something like 6-10 feet, trained on a trellis, by the picture. I've spent hours searching the 'net for one, because I'd love to grow it, but now I'm thinking it was just my imagination, because I can't seem to find it anywhere. Have you ever heard of this plant, and if so, do you know where I might find one? |
The plant in question (Fragaria) is related to edible strawberries but is really an ornamental. The fruits of this climbing plant are edible, but not very tasty - they're mealy in texture with very little flavor. There are numerous complaints against the company offering it for sale and I'm afraid the plant doesn't quite live up to expectations.
