When I grew them in Ithaca, NY, zone 5, they were wonderfully flavorful, and
small for modern strawberries. A friend who’s a real gourmet, with more
refined sensibilities than mine, who didn’t normally stoop to eating modern
strawberries, but ate only the alpine strawberries he grew himself, declared
upon eating these that he would rip out his alpine strawberries and plant
these instead.
