Strawberry Chinese White

Masses of completely new and unique pure snow-white fruits are produced, smaller than most big commercial forms. When ripe they have a flavour that has been described as aromatic and banana-like. Others say it has a peach-like fragrance and taste! A novel new species of strawberry, it is extremely rare in cultivation, this form having been discovered and collected on Mount Emei in Sichuan, China, where it grows on mountain slopes and in forested valleys. Unlike many strawberries it is a very low-growing, ground covering plant, with typical strawberry foliage, and spreads via runners, which produce countless dainty attractive white fruits. Botanically it is a self-compatible diploid species.
