Waitrose Exclusively Presents Pineberries: Set to Be Cream of the Summer Crop Waitrose exclusively presents Pineberries: set to be cream of the summer crop Today (Wednesday 31st March) Waitrose launches pineberries - a Alice in Wonderland- style fruit. With British summer time officially here Waitrose believes this new berry, which displays characteristics of both strawberries and pineapples, will fly off the shelves. Despite their extraordinary smell and taste similar to a pineapple, pineberries are still strawberries. The tiny berries, which are white and covered in red pips, have the same genetic make-up as the common strawberry. It is their fresh, juicy, sweet and acid flavour with a highly aromatic smell - more akin to a pineapple - that inspired the name ‘pineberries’. Waitrose is the first supermarket to sell pineberries in the UK. They will be available in 45 stores nationwide for the next five weeks while they are in season. Originating in South America, the pineberry started life as a wild variety of strawberry. It was threatened with extinction until seven years ago when Dutch farmers began growing it on a commercial level. Each pineberry is smaller than a common strawberry measuring between 15 to 23 mm. They are grown in glasshouses, growing on coir like other strawberries. They begin life as green berries, then become slightly white. By the time its deep laying seeds turn dark red this white fruit is ripe. Each pineberry punnet will weigh 125g and for an introductory period will retail for£2.99 until 13th April 2010. Subsequently, the pineberry punnet will be £3.99. Nicki Baggott, fruit buyer for Waitrose, says: “Pineberries offer our customers the chance to add a new fruit into their diet and the berries bright appearance can add an unusual decoration to sweet dishes. "As the summer unfolds we won't be surprised to hear that our customers are inviting their friends over for pineberry pavlovas, punch or serving them up with yoghurt for a lighter alternative." 1 This is not the first time Waitrose has launched a new berry into the UK market. In 2008 Waitrose launched the successful Strasberry, which will also land in stores for a third time this spring. The strasberry resembles a cross between a strawberry and a raspberry and is reputed to have a sweet and unique flavour. Strasberries will be on sale from April 7th 2010 and a 125g punnet will retail for £3.99.

These berries became known as “Scarlets”. Slowly the plants spread into Europe and the berries continued to grow until approximately the 1900’s when the plants almost stopped completely producing fruit. In 1714 a French marine engineer brought 2 female Fragaria Chiloensis from Chile into France. The plants produced very big berries which were white on the outside and just slightly pink on the sun side. The only problem with the plants were that they required cross pollination. The solution was found quickly and by planting one row of Scarlets and one row of Fragaria Chiloensis a good cross pollination was achieved. Around 1750, these spontaneous crosses provided a new variety. The variety produced big white berries, which were very aromatic. Named Fragaria Ananassa, the new variety became the base for all modern and commercial varieties. In summary it was a wild strawberry plant originating from both North and South America, but cross-bred in Europe, became a successful berry worldwide. Today, there is only one company in England selling the “ little Scarlet strawberry”, Wilkin & Sons Ltd (Tiptree), who use the berries in their very exclusive jams available at Waitrose. The “old Pineberry” is owned by breeder Hans de Jongh and commercialized by VitalBerry BV in Made, The Netherlands. This very old variety takes us back to basics, giving a low yield per plant and smaller sized berries compared to modern strawberry varieties. However, the berries are very aromatic and delicious! The Waitrose pineberries are grown in the Netherlands. They will be available in the following branches: 2 1. Holloway Rd 2. King’s Rd 3. John Barnes (Finchley Rd) 4. Beaconsfield 5. St Neats 6.

However, water deficit (WD) often causes significant yield loss. The aim of our study was to evaluate the productivity as well as the anthocyanin content and composition of berries from cultivated Fragaria vesca “Rojan” and hybrid No. 17 plants (seedlings) grown under WD. The plants were grown in an unheated greenhouse and fully irrigated (control) or irrigated at 50% and 25%. The number of berries per plant and the berry weight were evaluated every 4 days. The anthocyanin content and composition of berries were evaluated with the same periodicity using HPLC. The effect of WD on the yield parameters of two evaluated F. vesca genotypes differed depending on the harvest time. The cumulative yield of plants under WD was not less Citation: Rugienius, R.; Bendokas, V.; Siksnianas, T.; Stanys, V.; Sasnauskas, than that of the control plants for 20–24 days after the start of the experiment.

The genus, in the rose family (Rosaceae), is composed of about 500 north temperate species (50 in North America, 75 Euro­ pean species) of mostly boreal herbs and shrubs. Indeed, Potentilla extends far into arctic regions (22, 29). How­ ever, a few species are south temperate. And although less common, some species are also found in alpine and high 11,ountain regions of the tropics and South America; P. anserinoides Lehm. is a New Zealand native (27). Cinquefoil, which means five leaves, is an old herb, full of mystery and magic, which matches the charm Rough cinquefoil, Potentilla norvegica L. of its name. The plant protects its frag­ ile blooms in bad weather by contract­ ing the leaves so that they curve over the liver in humans (29). It was prescribed as a tea or in and shelter the flower (11). Cinquefoil wine for diarrhea, leukorrhea, kidney stones, arthritis, was credited with supernatural powers, cramps, and reducing fever (22).

  • A World of Extraordinary Flavors in Specialty and Exotic Strawberries
    Market Watch: A world of extraordinary flavors in specialty and exotic strawberries Commercial varieties are bred for firmness and shelf life. But older, more fragile breeds can be intensely aromatic and delicious. If only more growers would produce them. Wild strawberries grown by Pudwill Berry Farms in Nipomo at the Santa Monica farmers market. (David Karp / For The Times / July 1, 2009) By David Karp, Special to the Los Angeles Times April 16, 2010 The mild climate along California's coast enables its strawberry growers to dominate commercial production of this fruit; last year they accounted for some 88% of the nation's crop. For strawberry lovers, that's both a blessing, of abundance and reasonable prices, and a curse, because local growers are focused almost exclusively on varieties suited to industrial production. Compared with other states where local sales predominate, California strawberry breeders prioritize firmness and long shelf life, often at the expense of flavor. Our farmers market growers can offer riper fruit than is harvested for supermarkets, but they are stuck using commercial varieties because no one in California is breeding new varieties suited for direct sales and nurseries, for the most part, don't want to be bothered with older varieties. That's a shame because there's a whole world of different and extraordinary flavors that could await enterprising growers and their customers. Last week, I wrote a buying guide to farmers market strawberries focused on standard varieties from the University of California breeding program. Let us now consider specialty and exotic strawberry varieties, both from farmers markets and further afield.

  • Snow White´ TM (Hansawhit(S) - a New Strawberry Cultivar with White Fruits
    `Snow White´ TM (hansawhit(S) - a new strawberry cultivar with white fruits Introduction The cultivation history of white-fruited strawberries is much older than that of red cultivars of Fragaria ×ananassa Duch. Fragaria chiloensis f. chiloensis (L.) Miller with white or pale pink fruits is cultivated for hundreds of years in Chile and Peru and was introduced to Europe in 1714. It became an ancestor of the cultivated Fragaria ×ananassa Duch. together with Fragaria virginiana Miller from North America which had been cultivated in Europe since 1623. White cultivars were always interesting for cultivation. The cultivar Fragaria ×ananassa `Weisse Ananas´, bred in 1867, survived in house gardens and germplasm collections due to its fruit colour and its fresh-fruity taste. Meanwhile, white cultivars are attractive for European strawberry production as a niche product, in particular, for the gourmet fruit sector. 1 cm 1 cm 1 cm 1 cm Traditional Chilean cultivation of Vulcano Villarica (2.840 m) Fragaria chiloensis f. patagonica Staudt Accession from nature near a settlement `Lucida perfecta´ 1861 `Weisse Ananas´ 1867 Fragaria chiloensis f. chiloensis accession from the vulcano Villarica, close to the vulcano Villarica: escape or Foto: Jorge Retamales found at 1.200 m above sea level leftover from cultivation. 1cm `Snow White´ was selected as seedling in 2010 out from a population of Fragaria ×ananassa `Weisse Ananas´ × clone numbers which arose from Chilean land- races of Fragaria chiloensis f. chiloensis. `Snow White´ is a white-fruited strawberry and currently under application for European Plant Breeders´ Rights 2013 under the registration number 2013/1478. `Snow White´ is winter hardy, more vigorous than the old white-fruited cultivar `Weisse Ananas´, highly tolerant to powdery mildew and other leaf diseases as well as tolerant to Verticillium wilt, Phytophthora crown rot, Xanthomonas and Botrytis.

  • Pineberry: a Reintroduced Strawberry
    Missouri February 2015 Volume 21, Number 2 Pineberry: A Reintroduced Strawberry White-fruited strawberries of Fragaria chiloensis (Chilean strawberry) have been traced back to Chile where the native peoples, the Picunche and the Mapuche, cultivated them more than 1000 years ago. Although uncommon, native white strawberries can still be found in southern Chile today. Although early explorers documented these strawberries, they were not introduced into Europe until 1712 when Lt. Colonel Amedee Frézier brought F. chiloensis plants to France. Thereafter, the Chilean strawberry was naturally pollinated by Fragaria virginiana (red-fruited type known as scarlets). More recently, Hans De Jongh, a grower in Etten-Leur, the Netherlands obtained a diseased pineberry plant from a strawberry plant collector in France, who believed it was from the original cross from the 18th century. After selecting plants over a six year period, De Johgh released his pineberry Photo credit: Chad Finn cultivar in 2009. For those who like novelty plants, pineberry (Fragaria chiloensis Pineberries should not be confused with the albino fruit x virginiana) is a hybrid strawberry that produces small, white, disorder of commonly-grown red-fruited strawberries.
