They need a little shade;
They're normally white, but its either too much sun or left to ripen too long, they'll start to turn pink

I cant remember which, but I'm pretty sure its too much sun..

I plan on picking some up, myself, just havent yet

Quinault Strawberry Plants

Quinault Strawberry Plants

I am going to plant two Quinault Strawberry plants tomorrow they are some pretty good everbearing strawberries. I had some planted in 5 gallon buckets outside and now i will put some in a DWC tote to see how they grow hydroponically.
 
I saw these for sale at a local walmart .... at first they look like underipped strawberries... but they are indeed white genitically...



Theres also pink blueberries

I saw these strawberries at Home Depot last year.

If you can find the "Oregon 1030" cultivar, you can grow nice raspberries in San Diego.

Id skip the orange rassberries unless you like sweet berries. Im bought them to see what they are like and I wish I had went with a sour Red variety instead.

Upside being a novelty and now that I have built up some stock they have became a nice barter item. It has gotten me a few blackberry plants and a few other goodies..
