"Tell me what this is then" "It is a strawberry" I mean he didnt answer wrong 😂

I love this man! In my head I’m eating the stem too if I’m paying $350…. Boom he eats the stem!😭😂

[@alinaqirizvi1441]

£350 = $450

[@containerfruittrees]

In 2019, I paid $60 US for a pack of 6 massive white strawberries in Osaka. I thought I was one crazy guy, and honestly, it was really worth it, but I would not pay 350 pounds for one, even if I can afford it.

[@4nlimited3dition_4n3d]

Those who can afford it clearly do pay for them though. Apparently they have sold out waiting lists.

[@aquahuggies]

Did you keep some of the seeds to grow them yourself?

@@aquahuggies It's more than just growing them, you have to care for the fruits individually wrap them to protect them while they're growing and checking up on them every now and then.

[@DirtyRobot]

Possibly each plant only produces one/two fruits each. The individual fruits are placed in a bag (paper/hemp) and cared for individually. Other places are producing 10-20 fruits per plant.

[@lukinator6486]

strawberries almost always blossom and get strawberries 3 times per year, and usually they have at least 2-3 flowers per blossom, so I seriously doubt that he gets a yield this low.

it's amazing how disconnected modern humans are from their environment. You do realize how a crop grows doesn't just depend on its genetic content, right? Among other things, it depends on the soil, the humidity, the temperature, timing (when to do any part of the process from growing to picking), any horticultural technique like grafting, preventing diseases, the list is endless.
