Strawberry Parfait is an early season variety with red-splashed flesh "like strawberries in vanilla ice cream".  Fruit is striped red over ivory skin.  Flesh is soft and doesn't keep well.  On a warm day, and if the fruit is a little overripe, you can get a distinct scent of strawberries as you pass by the tree.  Previously grown as NJ 46.
