Musk Strawberry[edit | edit source]
The Musk Strawberry (Fragaria moschata) is a species of strawberry native to Europe. It is also known by other names such as Hautbois Strawberry or Hautboy Strawberry. This species is less common than the widely cultivated garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa).
Description[edit | edit source]
The Musk Strawberry is a perennial plant that grows to a height of 15-30 cm. The leaves are trifoliate with a petiole up to 15 cm long, while the leaflets are obovate and serrated. The flowers are produced in clusters on slender stems, each flower about 1.5 cm in diameter with five white petals.
Cultivation[edit | edit source]
Musk Strawberries are grown for their aromatic fruit, which are small and round. They are typically harvested in the late spring and early summer. The fruit is highly aromatic and has a flavor that is often described as a mix between a strawberry and a pineapple.
Uses[edit | edit source]
The fruit of the Musk Strawberry is edible and can be used in a variety of culinary applications. It can be eaten fresh, used in salads, desserts, and jams, or used to flavor beverages.
