More hypernatural designer-fruit. What do you get when you cross a strawberry and a pineapple? A pineberry, of course.

Today pineberries are available in supermarkets throughout Europe and, like most designer-fruits, the pineberry is trademarked and has its own wikipedia page.

  • I have been growing this variety since May 2011, and as yet have not had any fruit as the season effectively came to an end around the time I got the plants. I am growing off the runners in anticipation of next year. I have blogged about this. I have tried the fruit, purchasing it from Waitrose and was impressed. I cannot wait until the fruiting season next year!
