What kind of strawberry is this? There are some very odd strawberries at
Corvallis, including ones that are just female, and need a male to set fruit,
and males that never set fruit at all.

Zone 5 NY, where the Mara Des Bois strawberries are producing even more than
the chipmunks can eat, and my male musk strawberries have set lots of fruit.

Please forgive a beginner's
question.
I received some strawberries from the NCGR at
Corvallis. The plant
itself can't be more healthy, the leaves are giant, it
flowers
profusely. The problem is when the fruit sets and
reach 1/8th inch,
they turn brown and the stalk withers. I have planted
in both MA and in
PA and have the same problem in both places. Any
ideas what it might
be? I have had the same issues in wet and dry
conditions, hot and cool
weather. I haven't noticed any bugs.
