Musk Strawberries

Welcome to Musk Strawberries online. My first exposure to musk strawberries was nearly 20 years ago. I was uncertain what they were so I ordered some from a nursery here in Delaware. They sold them bare root. They grew well, way too well. They nearly took over my greenhouse. You see, musk strawberries produce runners. They produce a LOT of them.

My experience with the fruit was interesting. I have to admit that initially I wasn’t fond of the taste. I think it might have been because I had recently tasted fraises des bois, alpine strawberries. My taste has evolved. Musk strawberries are unique and very aromatic. Unfortunately, they are June-bearing which means that they produce a crop once in the spring. But, the taste packed into them makes taking care of them the rest of the year worthwhile.
