Our favorite strawberry at Sarvodaya Farms. Mara Des Bois is the most flavorful, softest, melt-in-your-mouth strawberry you will ever try. Strawberries are on the smaller side, but pack a bomb of passionfruit-strawberry flavor that will make you forget all strawberries before it. Amazing fragrance that can be smelled from feet away. Perfect for container growing as well.
Mara Des Bois fruits all summer when temperatures are below 95 degrees. Fruiting will stop at temperatures above 95, and resume when temperatures drop below 95. In Southern California, expect two fruitings: one from spring to mid-summer, and then a smaller fruiting as we approach fall. Support your plants with a mid-summer feeding of compost.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Plant after last frost. Strawberries need regular water and plenty of fertility. Plant on the edge of bed so fruits are not laying on the ground to prevent bugs from eating the fruit.
