@@RareSeedsBC hola,esa es una especie que conozco desde la infancia,no es tan conocida,porque se han estropeado los bosques nativos y han hecho monocultivo de pino y eucaliptos,hay otra frutilla silvestre que se llama lagueñe, es muy pequeña,pero es mucho mas sabrosa,esa esta prácticamente desaparecida

I would love to try this strawberry. Looks beautiful and delicious.

[@Mikoto545]

They are like normal strawberries on crack. They are so sweet, fragant and tasty. My best memories are eating these while being a kid in this region of Chile. You can't find them nowadays. They are super delicate to cultivate, I remember we used to have some plants in my house and they eventually dried out. But really, the strawberries we know don't hold a candle to these. I am trying to find people who still have these plants but no one sells them anymore. At all.

[@daisysantisteban6379]

Que delicia! No conocía está variedad. Ojalá algún día pueda probarlas! Que bueno que existan personas que preserven esta especie de frutilla blanca.

[@estebanvlasc8546]

Hola yo cultivo mucho de Baker Creek ,, se donde vienen estas frutillas se cultivan mucho en un lugar de Araucania todavia,es tradicional , el nombre frutilla antecede al de fresa , fue bautizado asi por los conquistadores españoles, es usada tambien para hacer ponche con vino blanco , parece raro pero es asi.

[@RareSeedsBC]

¡Eso suena delicioso! :)

[@estebanvlasc8546]

@@RareSeedsBC es muy tipico en Chile ese tipo de ponches frutales,otros son con duraznos picados de lata,en vino blanco con adicion de un poco de azucar se deja toda la noche remojando en el refrigerador.

I LOVE this one! Generational pride - can't top that!

It was hard to read the white lettering in the video. Could you go with black next time? Thanks.

[@garrett1847]

Growing Fragaria Virginia, hope to see you guys sell this plant or seeds one day ! Can't seem to find any reliable sources. I am also growing Fragaria Moschata ( Musk Strawberry) , and some Fragaria vesca seeds from Rareseeds. None have flowered yet because of unusual weather and it killed some of the Musk Strawberries, but they seem to be growing well and should produce well next year. Any idea up to what zones they can survive in ? Pretty interesting to see how different areas have different varieties / landraces of this plant!

[@McSnicker55]

Wondering if seeds or crowns of this cultivar will be available and when.

[@lennapelayo3252]

I would like to get this variety as well it's such a big white strawberry I'm totally interested in this I'm trying to locate it on their website with no such luck

[@RareSeedsBC]

We are working on it! Hopefully in the near future!

[@garrett1847]

@@RareSeedsBC Hope to see it next year or sometime in the future!

[@Mikoto545]

@@lennapelayo3252 In my own experience this variety doesn't grow nicely by seed. It has this mechanism that it throws a very long vine away from the main plant. Then, suddenly it grows leaves and roots itself. If you get 1 plant, the plant itself starts sending daughters all over the place. It reproduces like that very fast. As long as they can they throw this vines all over the place and try to make root whenever they can.

[@squidpickle4361]

Captions were very difficult to read, blended into the picture. Larger and different color would help.

[@RareSeedsBC]

Thank you for the feedback! We'll get on it!

[@davidchavez9036]

Ask jairo if i can get some seeds, would love to grow this plant

[@jamesroller9966]

How well does this berry grow in the Ozarks?

[@keko9180]

araucania has a cool temperate climate (very similar to western washington/oregon) the ozarks may be too warm

[@shadamysilvamy99]

Hola, buenas. Estoy intentando hacer un reportaje sobre la frutilla blanca y me gustaría saber de dónde sacaste toda esa información, ya que no he logrado encontrar toda la información que necesito. También me gustaría decirte que tu video está muy bien hecho, me has ayudado mucho ;) Ojalá el resto del mundo conociera la frutilla blanca

[@RareSeedsBC]

Greetings! I don't have any written sources to site for you as much of the information for this video was found by speaking to locals and farmers in Chile.

[@nunyabiznes33]

You think this can grow in lowland tropics?

Are seeds available for white strawberries yet?

[@RareSeedsBC]

Apologies, not for this variety yet :(

[@lunkerpond9765]

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

Is this the same as pineberry?

[@MissCellaneousMovies]

Wikipedia says the pineberry is: "a white strawberry cultivar with a pineapple-like flavor, white coloring, and red seeds." and that they "come from breeding strawberry stocks from Chile (most likely the Frutilla Blanca) and Virginia." The pineberry was first sold commercially in the United States in 2012, but available in the UK since 2010.

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

I was thinking the same thing at first but the pine berry is much smaller. I wish Baker Creek had seeds for this, I looked and they do not. I wish they would not show this until they had seeds! I will forget about it by the time they have the seeds.

[@wymtnsage]

better w/o the music- can't hear over it- love y'all's seed stories otherwise, tho- thnx n Father Bless!

[@dustinowens1716]

I usually love your stories but this one was hard to hear and read the captions. The music threw it off as well. I'd still love some seeds though.
