Fragaria moschata 'Profumata di Tortona'

The musk, or hautbois strawberry, is a species of strawberry native to Europe - found growing from Scandanavia, into Eastern Europe and south into Italy. They are cultivated widely in private home gardens as a rugged (and fragrant!) groundcover in both sunny and shady areas. The flavor is rich, sweet and intense - a cross of strawberry, raspberry and pineapple!

Both male and female plants are hardy and can survive in both cold winters and hot summers. 1 male plant will pollinize up to 5 female plants. Musk strawberries are cultivated commercially on a small scale, particularly in Italy. Fruits are slightly larger than Capron, and some will produce a small fall crop. Sold in 4" pots.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • What do you recommend doing with runners? I am happy to let it spread but worried if this will affect the berry yield.

    Runners will do nothing to reduce yield.

  • Which is the best male musk strawberry to use as a pollinator for profumata strawberry?

    Male Musk or Russian Male Musk are the ones you're looking for.

  • How to specify male or female? Says it needs one of both?

    This is a female, you can tell because it has a name. Males are unnamed and we sell them as "male musk" or "russian male musk". Both will work for the purposes of pollination.
