Mara des Bois

Mara des Bois

This variety produces small to medium fruit, and contains the highest flavor and fragrance of any day neutral variaty. Berries have an attractive red color with a high gloss.  Planted in the spring, Mara Des Bois will produce fruit during the summer into the fall.  The following spring it also produces a good spring crop.  Although considered a specialty variety for home gardeners, it is also good for commercial applications when high taste and berry fragrance is required.

This variety has the characteristics of a forest strawberry. The taste is very special until sometimes perfumed like a forest strawberry. The fruits are larger than a forest strawberry, but smaller than a common strawberry variety. The strawberry is not really firm.
