Description
The Pineapple Strawberry, also known as Pineberry, is a very vigorous ground cover. These plants are a crossbreed between a Strawberry and a Chilean Berry, the fruit is white with a red blush when ripe. The small to medium sized berries mostly taste like a Strawberry with hints of pineapple hence the name. The pineberry plant is easy to grow, and best kept in a pot. Pineberry plants are not self-fertile and will need another strawberry nearby to cross-pollinate.
They grow best in full sun but can tolerate partly shaded areas and prefer to have moist, well draining soil. They grow to about 30cm tall. Feed regularly with organic liquid fertiliser and add manure and compost to the pot you are planting in. It is best to prune off any berries that form in the first year of planting for the plant to grow roots in the soil. I know it’s hard to prune off fruit, but trust me, next year you’ll get an amazing crop!
Please note: the plants might be a different colour, or different size depending on the season.
