Fragaria × ananassa ‘Mara des Bois’ is a remontant strawberry variety renowned for the exceptional aromatic quality of its fruits, often compared to that of wild strawberries. This variety develops a compact and elegant clump, perfectly suited for the vegetable garden, fruit beds, and container cultivation. Its deciduous dark green foliage is accompanied by a renewed white bloom over a long period, promoting continuous production. The red fruits, of medium size, are intensely fragrant, sweet, and highly appreciated when eaten fresh. Well-adapted to Quebec's climatic conditions, ‘Mara des Bois’ combines regular yield with refined flavor. It prefers a sunny exposure and rich, loose, well-drained soil. This cultivar is a top choice for gardeners seeking a delicious, authentic, and easy-to-grow strawberry.
