Flamingo Strawberry

FLAMINGO STRAWBERRY
Patent No. PP34612
Developed by: FIVE ACES BREEDING

The fruits of the new ‘Flamingo’ variety have the aroma and juiciness
of wild strawberries and clearly exceed them in terms of shelf-life. This
new strawberry is perfect for small- scale growers who are in search of a
niche in high- end or farmers markets. The dedicated gardener will also
find in them a true delight.
Brilliant white flowers appear late in the spring, reducing the possibility
of spring frost damage. Fruits begin to ripen in June and stretch over a
four-week harvest period. Dark-red surface seeds are highlighted by the
light pink color of the skin of the roundish berries. The inner pink flesh
fades to a creamy white center, rendering a buttery sensation on the
tongue.
The plants will yield ½ pound of berries per linear foot, favoring the
matted row growing method. The calyx or stem on the berries is easily
separated after harvesting, making it much easier to prepare a variety
of desserts or to pop them into the mouth for a healthful treat.
