Strawberries or Blueberries? Pineberry or Pink Lemonade? Let’s Decide.

Choosing between berries is a delicious dilemma. Agree or Disagree.

Life is full of difficult decisions. Especially when it comes to gardening choices. Tomatoes or peppers? Herbs or flowers? Raised beds or containers?

But choosing between berries? YUM! What a delicious dilemma. 🍓🫐

[Non-members read free.]

As if it isn’t hard enough to choose between growing strawberries or blueberries. Would you believe there are these two exquisitely delicious variations of these fruits, and you have to choose? (Or not. 😊)

White Carolina Pineberry Plant VS Pink Lemonade Blueberry Plant.

Let’s Discuss and Decide.

🍓White Carolina Pineberry Plant

Choose if you are a gardener and you like strawberries. It tastes like pineapple and strawberry TOGETHER! If you can imagine that.

A pineberry looks like a strawberry that forgot to blush — white flesh, red seeds, and a flavor often described as strawberry meets pineapple. Some say exotic, some say unusual, and some people describe it as weird. But nobody ever calls it boring.

PROs:

• Works anywhere a regular strawberry works — including dipped in chocolate.
• A berry that tastes like pineapple and strawberry? Showing off? That’s right!
• Your garden instantly becomes a conversation piece.
• Featured by natural health enthusiasts as a nutrient-rich fruit. ( Natural Medicine)
• A fun gift for gardeners who like trying unusual plants.

CONs:

• If you believe all strawberries should be red, this one will challenge your worldview.
• Pineberries can be a little fussier than standard strawberries, so it’s not for beginners.

🫐 Pink Lemonade Blueberry Plant

Do you like lemonade? I do. What I like about lemonade is that you can vary the recipe and make it even better by adding another fruit. Do you like blueberries? Well then, there is no reason why you wouldn’t love the Pink Lemonade Blueberry plant. The berries ripen to a rosy pink and taste sweet-tart, like a blueberry with a citrus wink.

PROs:

• For people who always wanted blueberries to be PINK
• Surprisingly beginner-friendly — perfect for newbie gardeners.
• People might be impressed if they saw them in your garden
• Works in all your blueberry recipes (including blueberry pancakes)

CONs:

• Any fruit claiming to be a blueberry “relative” should be BLUE. (O.o) What? It’s not blue!! End of discussion.
