The 'Framberry strawberry', also known as the raspberry strawberry, bears astonishing fruit with a taste of both strawberry and raspberry. This variety produces round strawberries with sunken achenes, like little furrows. They are dark red and shiny with delicious pink flesh that is juicy and fragrant. This non-perpetual strawberry will fruit in June and July. Pair it with a perpetual variety like 'Mara des Bois' to extend your harvest throughout summer. It is hardy and can withstand temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F). Ideally, plant it in autumn for a more abundant harvest the following spring.
Strawberries can be consumed in multiple ways: they can be eaten fresh with sugar and cream, or thinly sliced and dried before being incorporated into muesli or yogurt. If you have a bountiful harvest, consider making jams, coulis, pies, ice creams, or sorbets. You can also freeze strawberries.
There are three categories of varieties:
- Wild strawberries that bear small fruits from June to October
- Non-perpetual varieties with large fruits. They bloom once a year in spring, producing large fruits around June
- Perpetual varieties with large fruits. They bloom twice a year or continuously, producing large fruits from June to October
The wild strawberry or woodland strawberry, present in Roman times and the Middle Ages, was crossed in the 18th century with a species brought back from Chile. Through successive selections, this gave rise to different varieties with large fruits.
It is a hardy perennial belonging to the Rosaceae family. This variety has a stout habit, with evergreen trifoliate, ovate, and dentate leaves. It bears small white flowers with a golden heart that will transform into large red fruits. Botanically speaking, we refer to strawberries as pseudocarps, with the achenes (seeds) appearing on the surface of the epidermis.
For harvesting, pick the fruits as they ripen, every 2 or 3 days, ideally in the morning. Strawberries are delicate, so pick them with their calyx by pinching the stem 1 to 2cm (1in) above it. The texture of the fruit is a good indicator of its ripeness: it should be firm and yielding to the touch. Strawberries are rich in vitamins and minerals. They can cause urticating reactions in some people as they stimulate the release of histamine in the body.

Botanical data
Ideally, plant this variety in autumn. Choose a sunny location. It appreciates rich, deep, and well-drained soils that are slightly acidic. A few months before planting, loosen the soil and add a generous amount of well-rotted compost. If your soil is limestone, provide a mulch made of acidic materials (pine needles or bark). Remove weeds and rocks. Strawberry plants are good companions for garlic, beans, lettuce, onions, leeks, thyme, and spinach. However, they do not appreciate the company of cabbage and other brassicas. Strawberry plants remain in place for 3 to 4 years.
In the ground
Space the plants 35cm (14in) apart in all directions. Dig a hole, place the strawberry plant (the collar should be level with the ground), and cover with fine soil. Water thoroughly. If your soil is moist, plant them on mounds 10 to 20cm (4 to 8in) high.
In a pot
Place a layer of gravel or clay balls at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of potting soil, garden soil, and compost. Place the strawberry plant, cover with soil, and firm it down. Water thoroughly.
Regularly weed. Mulch around the plants in summer to maintain soil moisture. Install a protective netting before the fruits turn red to avoid sharing your harvest with birds. You can also place ash or coffee grounds near the young plants to drive away slugs and snails. Water regularly, especially in hot weather. Remove dry leaves in autumn.
Apply compost on the surface in spring. In cool regions, install a tunnel in spring to protect the plants from spring frosts during flowering.
The plants need to be renewed every 3 or 4 years. This variety multiplies through adventive stems, which are small creeping stems that naturally root in the soil, forming new plants. To avoid exhausting the parent plant, cut the adventive stems and replant them if desired.
Wait 4 years before replanting strawberry plants in the same location.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
