The new strawberry design is from North America and is called Hula Berries. Other names include pineberries, alpine berries, and white strawberries. These Hula Berries are the result of combining native red strawberries with Chilean white strawberries and are not genetically modified, but instead, cross-pollinated.

As of right now, this new version of strawberries is not available in your local grocer's produce section, but you can buy seeds and baby plants at Walmart and Amazon.

The plants will do well in rich soil and prefer lots of sunlight. Make it a family project. You and your family will enjoy picking these special berries right off the plant for the incredible taste of natural pineapple built into the shape and size of a strawberry. A mature plant will produce berries about the size of a nickel. They are usually white to blush pink with bright red seeds.

According to homespunhydrangea.com, your Hula Berry seeds or plants will need to be planted near regular red strawberry plants in order to cross-pollinate.

The best way to do this is plant them in a 3:1 ratio, which means 3 Hula Berry plants for every 1 red strawberry plant.-homespunhydrangea.com
