EspañolMUSK STRAWBERRY
(Redirected from Fragaria moschata)
The 'musk strawberry' (''Fragaria moschata''), is a species of strawberry native to Europe. Its French name ''hautbois'' strawberry is anglicised as 'hautboy strawberry'.
Musk strawberries grow wild to a limited extent in the forests of Central Europe, north into Scandinavia, and east into Russia. It was the first strawberry of any sort with a cultivar name, which was ''Le Chapiron'' (1576). Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden, , Lee, Reich, Timber Press, 2004, By 1591, the cultivar was called ''Chapiton'', then later ''Capiton''. It was mentioned by Quintinye, gardener to Louis XIV, as ''Capron'' in 1672.
It is used in the gourmet community for its intense aroma and superb flavour, which has been compared to a mixture of regular strawberry, raspberry and pineapple. The berries are small and round. They are hardy plants that can survive in many weather conditions and are cultivated commercially on a small scale, particularly in Italy. Popular cultivated varieties include Capron and ''Profumata di Tortona''.
All strawberries have a base haploid count of 7 chromosomes. ''Fragaria moschata'' is hexaploid, having six pairs of these chromosomes for a total of 42 chromosomes.
