Mid-Season Strawberry 'Korona'

Product number: 830405.1
Origin: Europe, North America
Latin: Fragaria x ananassa

AVAILABLE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. (1978) I.V.T. A relatively modern variety, still favoured by professional growers due to its very high yield. The fact that the fruits are somewhat more delicate is accepted, and for a hobbyist, this is even less important. The fruits are very large, conical, and strikingly dark red in colour (also internally). Even the taste is fully impressive: juicy, mildly sweet, and normally aromatic.

Our strawberry collection partly consists of rare old varieties, which are only sparingly available. Therefore, the waiting time can be long. Annually in July, a new crop is potted by our grower, which is delivered in August-September. In April-May, we can replenish some of this assortment. Please note that shipping costs may apply for any subsequent deliveries.

Denominations:
Latin: Fragaria x ananassa

Can a strawberry smell of butter? Farmhouse butter, fresh butter chives or no, butter cake. Bakeries at night. As I stood there, in the middle of a Brabant strawberry field, holding a Korona strawberry – still warm from the sun – these unlikely associations strung together like an unbreakable necklace. No matter how hard I tried to shake off the insane idea that a strawberry could smell of butter – wasn't I sniffing the aroma of boiling strawberry jam?, I told myself – I couldn't. "I smell butter," I finally confessed to Jan Robben, whose strawberries I was among. Of course, he thought it was odd. From: NRC Weblog Koken by Janneke Vreugdenhil May 31, 2007
