The French starting taking alpine strawberries from the wild to their gardens about 400 years ago, most likely around Grenoble in the lower Alps. White alpine strawberries are a natural mutation of the wild growing red alpine strawberry and are well adapted to colder climates and higher altitudes.

White Alpine strawberries are one-of-a-kind fruits, creamy white in colour, ornately speckled with beautiful contrasting red seeds. The delicate fruits are dense and juicy with a memorable flavour.  White alpine strawberries can quickly become your favourite in the garden. The tropical notes of pineapple and guava blended with the taste of classic red strawberry makes this variety a truly unique heirloom. White Alpine strawberries are often over-looked by animals and birds and will last for years, making this variety quite easy-to-grow. The plants will produce fruits all season long but are considerably less productive during the hotter months.

Also known as Fraises des Bois or Woodland Strawberries, alpine strawberries are miniature ancestors of the regular strawberry. They are smaller than hybrid types but are at least twice the size of wild strawberries. You will probably never find Alpine strawberries at the supermarket because they are just too fragile. Unlike hybrid strawberries which tend to spread, alpine strawberries are easy to manage because they reproduce by seed rather than by runners. Alpine strawberry plants tend to produce very few runners, which you can keep the first year to fill space or cut to promote fruit production.

These compact plants are easy to grow and are a great fit for container gardening. The plants are very productive and everbearing, meaning they will fruit in the spring and will keep producing until the first fall frost. Alpine strawberries are cold-hardy perennials that will provide an abundance of fruits for many years but should be replaced every five years or so, as production declines with age. They have a much better chance of producing the first year if started indoors and transplanted after last spring frost. The seeds can also be sown later in the year but fruiting may only occur the following spring. The bees seem to especially love their little flowers!

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Because of their tiny size, strawberries may be a little tricky to start by seed. But don’t be discouraged. Once established, the plants will produce plenty of delicious berries for years to come.

To get a jump on the season, start seeds indoors early in the season from December to February. Strawberries may not produce until the following spring if they don’t get a head start.

Plant seeds in a flat or small pots, one seed/2 cm. Don’t cover seeds, they require light to germinate. Press them lightly and firmly into the soil. Mist seeds and keep them moist. Keep soil between 16-24°C for best germination. Seeds should be kept under grow lights for at least 12 hours/day.

After they’re established, feed seedlings with a mild liquid fertilizer every two weeks. Six weeks after germination, transplant seedlings into individual pots. Start gradually hardening plants off on nice spring days, but don’t transplant until after the last frost.

Dig a hole for each plant 60 cm apart. Work some compost or your fertilizer of choice into each hole before planting. Plant roots deeply, but don’t cover the crown of the plant. It should be right at the surface of the soil.

Water in well and lay mulch to shelter the shallow roots. Ensure that plants receive 3 cm of water/week. Strawberries prefer full sun and well-drained soil.

New plants that sprout up yearly should be encouraged to compete for space with older plants. This will ensure good berry quality and production. Cut berries by the stem to avoid harming the plant and enjoy these summertime gems by the handful.

After a few fall frosts, it is time to cut the plants down to 3 cm. Use a 10 cm layer of mulch to insulate crowns and roots throughout the winter. Welcome new growth by removing mulch in the spring after the danger of frost has passed.

QUICK FACTS

- The strawberry fruit was first mentioned over 2 000 years ago in ancient Roman literature in reference to its medicinal use. During the 14th century, the French began taking wild strawberry plants from the forest to their gardens for harvest. In England, the demand for strawberry farming had increased by the 16th century. During the early 1800s, breeding was conducted to improve the hardiness, disease resistance, size, and taste, giving rise to the modern strawberry.

- Strawberry seeds will remain viable for two years if stored in a cool, dark place, ideally between 4 and 10⁰C. After that, the germination rate may start to go down.

Bought as a gift
The young man is using the book to understand that we all have different love languages and I watch as he take interest in the content of the book. I gave both my daughters a copy last Christmas as part of their gifts as well. I have my copy of the book and it has helped me to understand others as well as myself more profoundly. Everyone one should get a copy for themself…a must have to help build better relationships.

Prescriptive approach to eye-opening information
This book has changed my perspective for the better. It is very prescriptive in its approach, but that's just what I needed. Not only can I better understand the love expressed by others in their unique way, but I have a better concept of how to express love in different "languages" and even "dialects." My understanding of others has greatly improved. I'm more excited to think of different ways to express my love. I just can't say enough about this book. It is well worth a second read as well just to be reminded of all the important messages. It also includes portions about controlling anger and apologies. The book doesn't contain information that's mind blowing, but the way it's presented can be life changing for some. It's the package deal on how to be a better lover.

Recommend this book
Gary Chapman defines the daily tasks of Love and the work made to sustain a relationship as compared to the false notions that the media portrays about love which are actually false. This is new learning and excellent book on love. I only recommend this book on love and no other.

TPT is a wonderful Bible translation
I really enjoy The Passion Translation and have purchased many as gifts. The footnotes are very enlightening. Holy Spirit revelations were profound when reading this wonderful version of the New Testament.

Beautiful version of this translation
I love this translation of the bible. the pages in this version are a bit thicker than my last copy and so there is less shadowing of the backside of the page making it easier to read. The slightly larger print also makes it easier to read.
