Species of fruit and plant
The musk strawberry or hautbois strawberry[2] (Fragaria moschata), is a species of strawberry native to Europe. Its French name hautbois strawberry may be anglicised as hautboy strawberry.[3] The plants are hardy and can survive in many weather conditions. They are cultivated commercially on a small scale, particularly in Italy. The fruit are small and round; they are used in the gourmet community for their intense aroma and flavour, which has been compared to a mixture of regular strawberry, raspberry and pineapple.[4] Popular cultivated varieties include 'Capron' and 'Profumata di Tortona'.
