After a couple of frustrating weeks with relentless attacks from slugs/snails and catapillars, the latter decimating most of my largest, most promising berries and a number of the leaves, I uncovered this little beauty.
After spraying some Bug Clear (for catapillars) on my pineberry plants a week ago, the attacks seem to have calmed so I'm hoping this survives another couple of days to finish ripening.
I've already tried one berry, it wasn't fully ripe but it was soft in places and it did taste somewhat like a strawberry and I could detect a hint of pineapple.
It has been very frustrating to lose some many of my fruits especially when the pineberry was my silver tuna of the year but it's made me more determined to make them work next year and I've already planted up 6 healthy runners from existing plants.
