Narrative
'Mara des Bois' is a remontant (everbearing) variety that produces fruit in summer to early fall in the first year, but in subsequent years produces a heavy spring crop with continued production throughout the growing season. Plants typically grow to 12-15" tall and spread to 12-24" wide. Conical red berries are plump, fragrant, sweet and exceedingly tasty. Berries are small to medium (acorn size), which puts them in the category of being much smaller than most commercially grown berries but larger and firmer than tiny wild strawberries. U.S. Plant Patent PP8,517 was issued on December 28, 1993. This patent expired in September of 2011.

As of 2022, Mara Des Bois strawberries are grown commercially in France and on a small yet growing scale in the United States, specifically in the strawberry growing regions of southern California. The short shelf life of Mara Des Bois does limit their distribution range to specialty stores and farmers markets in nearby growing regions and to those that can afford to have the berries shipped to them overnight. Though slightly limiting commercially this delicate nature has made the Mara Des Bois a sought after boutique strawberry as well as an ideal strawberry for the home garden.
