The Alpine strawberry Baron von Solemacher is an ancient German variety that produces delicate clusters of deep red, sweet and juicy berries up to 25 mm in diameter. Although we are not sure who the Baron was, we do know that this strain was first offered by FC. Heinemann, a German seed dealer, in 1935. Alpine strawberries are hardy perennial plants that bloom and bear fruit from late spring until the first frost. It is also an early-fruiting variety - the first strawberries can develop just three months after sowing. They make a delicious addition to pastries, but are also very popular raw - young and old will love the sweetness and intoxicating aroma of these strawberries, which will fill any room with a beautiful scent.
