OH saw a plant last year that grew large strawberries (almost apple sized). Went to same garden centre and they aren't selling them. Could you tell me what they're called or where I could get one please!

    I think these are the ones you mean but I've never tried growing them - nor known anyone who has - so can't help with what they're like, sorry

    Ken Muirs site describes the flavour as `good`, which is the lowest rating they ever give to fruits.

    The general rule is, the smaller the berry, the more intense the flavour.

    Size isn't everything, (says a man who knows!:o)

    Productivity may not be higher, and could likely be worse than from plants producing more normal sized fruit.
