Strawberries

[iainjones9]

I want to grow some Strawberries and I am aware of white Strawberries, they are almost invisible to birds I have read somewhere.
Has anyone any views on them?

I tried grow some a few years ago but wasn't over impressed. They didn't crop very generously and the slugs seemed to love them, and I didn't notice any difference with bird damage either. Flavour wise, nothing special either so wouldn't recommend them. I now stick to my all time favourite Marshmello, I'm replacing some plants this year and I now net the lot as it seems the only way to discourage birds ...

A neighbouring plotholder grows them and had a good crop last year, unnetted. I tried some - very disconcerting eating "unripe" fruits! The taste etc was fine. I would have to mix them with red strawberries to like them, same as yellow or purple raspberries.
