Fragaria vesca 'Mara des Bois'

This very special perpetual fruiting strawberry is the only variety to combine the aromatic flavour of the wild alpine strawberry with the fruit size and yield of the modern cultivars.  When fully ripe, the medium sized berries are extremely fragrant and develop an intense flavour and aroma similar to the woodland strawberry. Highly sought after by top chefs, if you travel to France and visit the local markets you will see fruits of this wonderful variety on sale when in season. Resistant to powdery mildew. Please note: this variety is only supplied as coldstored plants for spring/summer delivery.

RHS Perfect for Pollinators

Season: Perpetual (mid July - Oct).

If you have ever grown your own strawberries before you will know that the aroma and flavour is far superior to that of shop bought fruit. What’s more, they take up a minimum amount of room and are easy to grow. All they require is a sunny, sheltered spot. Plants can be spaced 30cm (12in) apart in the open ground. Alternatively they can be grown in growbags (10 plants per growbag), or in hanging baskets or containers.

 

Our hand graded strawberry plants are raised on selected sites in the UK under the Plant Health Propagation Scheme (PHPS) and are guaranteed to be free from pests and diseases.

 

Unless otherwise stated in the product description, fresh dug strawberry runners are available from mid October to late November and will crop the following season. Coldstored strawberry plants are available from March to early July. These will crop 60-90 days after planting. Please note, some varieties (where stated in the product description) are only available as coldstored plants.

These strawberries are outstanding. The flavour is delightful and the cropping is heroic. I followed the instructions with a heavy heart cutting off all the flowers till June, but the rewards were worth the extra month's wait. I grew my plants in growbags suspended from the crop bars in the polytunnel, and was still picking strawberries at the end of October. I even had enough to give away to friends, who all thought they were tops for flavour. I would not be without these little beauties.
