USA only please
These sell for $5.00 and up and as far as I have found online, these are all sold out everywhere! It is last years seeds and has been cold treated already so you won't have to. Pineapple Crush is a sweet yellow variety that does have a slight taste of pineapple! The the birds leave alone, the plants do not produce runners. They do well in shade and part sun. The second year they produce LOTS of sweet berries and you can divide the plant into many plants. Since I have grown alpines for several years now, have to say that the taste is more intense and flavorful than your standard varieties! The leaves also make great tea!

Hi cosmo, I don't know why it states on my page that I haven't answered you but it was mentioned that the alpine strawberries do have a taste of pineapple with the sweet and more intense flavor of alpine strawberries. Hope this helps.

Pineapple Crush alpine strawberries have a slight taste of pineapple mixed with the sweet intense taste of alpine strawberry. When growing them, you will want to harvest when they are completely ripe with no tugging to remove them from the stem.
That's when they are at their best.

Is that the average size of the fruit, it seems tiny like a wild strawberry. Are they hard to start I haven't had much luck starting strawberries from seed in the past.

Alpines are smaller berries compared to your regular varieties but the flavor is more intense. The key is to keep them watered well. They do fine once established but if you do not make sure they have enough water, the flavor can be less in quality.
Alpines can be harder to start from seed but what I found that helps me is to take a small container with alittle seed starter mix, dampen it (not soggy) scatter the seeds, cover with clear plastic baggie and place in refrigerator or place on table out of direct sunlight. but use a table lamp as long as it doesn't get hot for the seeds, it needs bright light but not heat.
The size of the berries varies on where you plant them. The plants that give me fruit as large as a quarter are planted where they recieve morning sun then dappled shade and alittle more moisture in the ground but where they will not have wet feet, I would guess if you do not have a place that has alittle more moisture, to water them early in day every other day at least but dont drench them. Just a nice quick shower.
I have also been told by other people that they wet a paper towel (not soggy wet) fold it, place in baggie and scatter seeds in the towel and place in refrigerator for several weeks until they sprout.
