It would be nice to get the taste test report.

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

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.... ::)
