Growing And Harvesting Pineberries!

- If you want fruit with an interesting twist, get pineberries! Ours have really started bearing heavily this year and we love the sour kick of their pineapple flavor! They are great fresh and they make excellent jam. If you do decide to grow these, make sure and have another variety nearby for optimal pollination.
I found pineberries at Costco and was able to germinate the seeds. I am sooo very proud of myself. It took me 4-5 tries but i did it! Although it takes two years to get berries. I finally got berries this year and can’t wait to try them and see what they taste like. So far, The berries look exactly like the pine berries I bought a couple of years ago!😁
@whatsthis2013 That's amazing! I FINALLY found some at Aldi today and wanted to see if I could germinate the seeds. What finally worked for you?
That’s so cool. I wanted to try it with the new rose pearl strawberries from Asda but i was a bit skeptic bout it. I’m really willing to try it now. So thanks 👍🏽
They are totally worth growing, you’ll never find them in a store and rarely at a farmers market.
At bunnings i found all the interesting strawberries. Pine berries, bubble berries others. They werent being bought so they put it on clearance for 5 dollars. I got one and put it with a nice red strawberry plant hopefully I'll get some pineberries eventually
I found them at a Costco, surprisingly!
Publix has pineberries $6 for a 12’ounce container I believe
Thank you for sharing this info. I just bought some bare roots and I'm planting them now and then make my video. Have a great day and happy gardening 🌿🌱😊🤗
Wow, definitely want to try these some day. Can't wait till I have a yard and can grow fruits and veggies!
I had some. They don't really have a noticeable pineapple flavor to me. I think regular strawberries taste better.
You have to strain really hard to find the pineapple flavor in it.
Hey Anne you dont need a yard! Just a window
I had these from the grocery store and they are super sweet
Man they were only $3.99 at my local Bi-Mart store and it's the very beginning of the season! They weren't even on sale that was full price. For ten!
I'm currently growing some of these from seed in a hydroponics unit. Everyone says they're a hybrid, so I don't expect them to grow true but I'm excited to see what happens. They have about 4 leaves so far.
Experimentation like this is how we get new varieties, so it's worth the attempt! Good luck!
Hello. Could you please send me the link to buy the seed. I was look for this seed every where in my country but …
@@thuuyoctruyenemkhuya6289 I'm sorry, I don't know where to buy the seeds. I tried to grow them from seeds I collected from a pine berry I bought at the store, but so far the plant hasn't produced any fruit.
@nikilaine In the video, he said you need other strawberry around to pollinate them.
I thought I was growing pine berries but these leaves are different than what you have!!!! What am I growing?! 🤣 lol 😅
Don't we have to freeze the seeds first to fool them into thinking they just survived a winter and therefore germinate?
Yes, they need to be stratified to germinate. I've not done that with strawberries/pineberries specifically, but generally putting them in the refrigerator for a month will be sufficient to fulfill that "winter" need. Good luck!
My daughter bought 3 of these plants and I have already transplant over 100 new plants and they are still producing baby plants. I keep cutting them and so far only 1 little white strawberry. We’ll see how it goes.
They definitely spread like crazy if you let them! I hope it goes well for you!
They need cross pollinators to grow fruits, so plant some regular strawberries nearby. Growing fruit would reduce the amount of runners.
They taste like pineapple because they share the natural gene that creates the enzyme found in pineapples
I bought some plants and got some berries that was mushy too. I removed all that plants and restarted from seeds from the berries I bought that have better texture. Not sure it would succeed from seeds since they are hybrids.
it is totally normal to call them pine berries, but they are officially called white jewel strawberries. but those strawberries look like they are not ready because of their small size
You grow them on the ground, is it okay for winter frozen time? Are there insects or animal around?
Yup! They don't have any issue with winter temperatures here even though we get down to about -15 F at the coldest most years. Once freezing temperatures have started, you can mulch them with straw, or fallen leaves to insulate them, but I haven't found that to be strictly necessary. In the spring, once flowers form, you have to watch out for freezes to ensure they don't hurt the crop. I made a video on that as well!
We've only had issues with birds, but they don't bother them enough to be worth fighting off. Bird netting has helped us in the past, but it is a pain to set up and take down.
What was your original source? The internet seems kinda dodgy
Can pineberries be pollinated by alpine strawberries?
Maybe it’s a different variety? Omgoodness help? I can send photo..
Can i use this video in a fact video i am making, please? 😁
Bought 10 seedlings for less then $5 at home depot
So how do you grow them if you can't germinate a replica from the seeds?
Because they produce runners which are basically small new plants
Hello what do you fertilize your pineberries with!!!
To date, we have only fertilized our pineberries and strawberries with a dressing of finished compost. For using standard fertilizer, I'd recommend getting your soil tested, so you only add what you know you need! You'll probably want a different mix in the spring when they want to fruit compared to after harvest. Hope this helps!
The ones I bought didn't really have a noticeable pineapple flavor.
I do not have any myself, but I've seen that there are varieties of white strawberry as well that do not have the pineapple flavor. It could be that yours order was mixed up, or maybe they just weren't ripe enough? All the ones we have had so far had a very distinctive taste.
@@HonestHomesteading I got them from whole foods.
Mine didn't taste like pineapple either and they were pinkish white I got them from shoprite.
where can I buy a tree that will allow me to harvest first year? how long does it take
Pineberries don't grow on trees, but they are becoming more commonly found at nurseries, so it shouldn't be too hard. If you mean fruit trees in general, figs can bear in their first year. Most fruit varieties take many years to develop fruit wood. If you are at a nursery or garden center at a grocery store, look for trees with blooms or little fruitlets and that will let you know if they are already at bearing age. They often are when sold locally, though it will be a light first crop.
I just picked up some starts at my local Tractor Supply.
I bought 8 off a nursery across the road from our campground. Figure I'd give them a try. I don't know what kind of white strawberries.
give me strawberry pineberry seeds
I thought I was growing pine berries but these leaves are different than what you have!!!! What am I growing?! 🤣 lol 😅
