  • Posted by Ispahan (Chicago - Zone 6a) on Nov 7, 2011 3:34 PM concerning plant:
    Fantastically delicious wild strawberry strain that produces a June crop of small to medium-sized berries with the most amazing perfumed, complex berry flavor. Plants are rugged, attractive and could easily carpet the earth in runners if nothing stands in its way. In order to bear fruit, this variety MUST be planted with either a male musk strawberry clone or another fruiting cultivar of musk strawberry. It is only slightly self-fertile despite what is advertised and will seldom produce a berry without a pollinizer.
