Details
Pineberries are a white strawberry cultivar with red seeds and a pineapple-like flavor. Originally a hybrid, these seeds were saved from the F1 hybrid grow-out and are considered an unstable F2 variety. Though these seeds are taken directly from our pineberry strawberries, they may or may not produce similar traits to the original pineberry. We are always down for experimenting!
