What is the difference between wild strawberry 🍓 and the ones in your garden?

[@cristiewentz8586]

Mmm. When we found enough, we made one precious gallon of homemade wild strawberry custard ice cream each summer. It is unbelievable.

[@charlesperkins7746]

The taste is definitely worth the time and effort to collect.

[@americaneden3090]

The ones I've discovered in an old oak and hickory silvopasture taste like grass. Red berries that just taste like a green leaf.

[@brickbybrick4692]

@@americaneden3090probably indian strawberries. incredibly invasive and not at all genetically related to any species of strawberry

[@backyardsnackyard]

I grow them as groundcover wherever I can. We love hunting for them in the garden. Soooo delicious!

[@soffiaferegri259]

They are sooo good. Perfect to snack on. 🤩🍓

[@yanj111]

the wild strawberry in my hometown is so sweet, they actually ferment naturally on the plant, and taste delicious because the touch of alcohol flavor, I love it😂

[@mahinnur3047]

what kind of berry is that ? can you tell the kind of yours

[@Yvng_YBK-RRR]

Can you find wild strawberry seeds online to grow?

[@meady50]

you definitely can but a lot of people apparently have trouble germinating them, so it’s honestly better to just find a mature plant in the wild and take home a runner with roots

[@blackkennedy3966]

@@meady50 it’s because you need to cold stratify for a month, they’re perennials but people treat them like they’re annual seeds and try to plant them right away.

[@jaykemm3472]

Answer. I can fit more wild strawberries in my mouth.

[@bobbyhempel1513]

I find these growing all over the place in my area of Texas but they never produce fruit I don't know if it's our climate or if it's something else.

[@AyanaSioux]

What part of Texas are you in? I live in Texas too and am hoping to find these one day.

[@tibo6749]

Possibly the season you see them in isn't the fruiting season. They might also flower and give fruit at higher altitudes.

These look like mockberries, not strawberries

[@ehrichweiss]

I was *JUST* thinking about this topic yesterday. As a kid I'd been told they were poisonous so I never touched them..

[@jabanan]

I think there is one type of wild strawberry that is poisonous, just check if they grow in your area

[@cristiewentz8586]

You were probably told this about barren strawberry. Yellow blossom. The fruit is kind of dry and quite tasteless, but it's not poison. I was told that, too, as a child. It's not poison, but it doesn't count as food 😆...it has almost no calories...or flavor...or scent...unlike the wild Fragaria, which is an intense strawberry fragrance and flavor.

I wonder if you breed store ones with these you'll get a perfect middle sized tasty one?

if you dont mind me asking how do you breed strawberries

[@SemajResarf]

​@@funnyYetSad77cross polination or grafting. I wouldnt know.

[@__________________________hi52]

@@funnyYetSad77grafting is a easy way, some guy bred tomatoes and potato’s to make these weird violet chubby small tomatoes.

[@avanimations4400]

@@__________________________hi52that’s impossible that’s fake you can graft tomatoes on to a potato plant but it will give you less potatoes and less tomatoes. And you can’t cross pollinate tomatoes with potatoes so those violet potatoes are just a type of potato.

[@mommybush8352]

Are you sure those aren’t false strawberries instead? If there were yellow flowers it’s a false strawberry.

Those are the wild strawberry depicted in the video. You can see one of the identifying features wich is the droopy fruit and it is often larger than indian strawberry wich is often "perfect" in shape where strawberries are often mishapen

[@meady50]

@@GreatGardening1 a better method of telling them apart: wild strawberries have seeds that are imbedded into the skin (like the normal strawberry) but false strawberry (which isn’t poisonous, just flavorless) has almost a ‘shell’ of seeds which you can scrape off easily
