I've just planted 5 of these, me and my mate split an order so I'll see how they go and what they taste like  :)

T&M many years ago did mixed packets of alpine strawberries and the white ones were very tasty.  You do not notice the colour once they are in your mouth. ;D

  i've a strawberry monster at home, grow lots of alpine as well as normal strawberries in the garden. It's nice to see her after school sat in the garden munching.

Apparently these don't need netting as the birds don't realise they are ripe.....which will probably catch me out the same as green tomatoes as I can never tell when they are ripe either! You end up groping them every so often.... ::)
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴
