“Pineberry is a hybrid cross from Fragaria chiloensis and Fragaria virginiana.[1] A pineberry is smaller than a common strawberry, measuring between 15 to 23 mm (0.6 to 0.9 in).

The plant is disease-resistant, and highly priced, although not profitable due to small-scale farming, small berry size and low yield.[2]” Wikipedia
