I grew musk strawberries for many years (actually, I had the plants introduced about 30 years ago when I worked for the USDA). I finally stopped growing them because they were hard to manage because they runner so extensively. They taste great, though. I also have a chapter on musk and alpine strawberries in my book Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden.

Anyone tried musk strawberries, Fragaria moschata? They're supposedly the most fragrant strawberry.

My 'Mara de Bois' strawberries did so well last year, and are so wonderfully fragrant, it seems silly to look for an even better strawberry, but I'm still wondering what else is out there.
