Description

So fragrant you smell them before you see them. Delicious and extremely productive. Thick leathery evergreen glossy leaves on long stems and white flowers look very much like a smaller version of commercial varieties. Makes dense carefree colonies when happy so filling a bucket is not hard to do. Its quite an event when the strawberries are ripe on Haida Gwaii’s Rose Spit. This species continues to be used by breeders to create many of today’s strawberry cultivars.
