You’ve got a good cultivar…although there are other factors such as climate and soil that could explain it. In any case, I wish my fruits were that big. Alpine strawberries have been a great discovery for me. I’ve grown them for about 3 years now and wonder where they’ve been all my life! They’re so easy to care for and the slugs don’t like them anywhere near as much as hybrid strawberries.
