Mara Des Bois ( Us Plant Patent #08517 )

Developed by a French breeding program, this everbearing strawberry produces small to medium fruit, and contains the highest flavor and fragrance of any variety. Berries have an attractive red color with a high gloss. Planted in the spring, Mara Des Bois will produce fruit during the summer into the fall. The following spring it also produces a good spring crop. Although considered a specialty variety for home gardeners, it is also good for commercial applications when high taste and berry fragrance is required.
