This red, Italian alpine’s name translates as 4 Season Strawberry.  Berries are red, good size for an alpine, more rounded but still with the classic alpine appearance.  Flavor is excellent as it is with most all alpine berries. The alpines still remain the most sought after as they ripen.  Mature plants get over a foot wide, are runnerless, and yield from mid-spring through the late fall.  .
Quattro is hardy in USDA zones 4-9
