Australia adds a new white strawberry to a total of now 12 varieties

Australia's leading strawberry breeder is on a quest to release a striking pure white fruit that is ripe when the seeds on its skin turn red.

But the work on the novelty new variety will not be complete until the taste is judged as being just right. At the Queensland Department of Agriculture's research centre on the Sunshine Coast, scientists combine natural breeding techniques and cutting-edge science to develop new varieties for all of Australia's major growing regions. With this, Queensland region will continue being a leading state in Australia, and continue earning a global reputation for producing the world's finest strawberries.
