Those look like mock strawberries. I've heard they don't taste too good.

If they start peeing in a box and begging for food, then they're domesticated.

Depends on what they do in their spare time.

I don't even see straws in those berries.

Berries gone wild! Watch these crazy wild berries bare it all.

I've got a volunteer strawberry plant exactly like this that just popped up in one of my pots. Really tasty little berries, too; I thought at first I had somehow ended up with an alpine strawberry, but I believe it's just a wild strawberry (as opposed to flavorless mock strawberries sometimes mistakenly called wild strawberries.) Been bearing fruit continuously for a few months, too. Currently trying to get some seeds to grow hydroponically, because I could go for this year round.

Edit: in researching, it seems like alpine strawberries may just be wild woodland strawberries in a fancier hat, so there may not be an appreciable distinction.

We call them "Smultron" in Sweden and they are just what strawberries where before cultivation. My garden is full of them.

Are they everbearing strawberries? I have a few of them. They produce really small ones like that but last all summer.

I've got about 2 acres of those. they grow to gumball sized every year.

they don't taste great, but not horrible either.

It depends. Do they come to you when you call them?

@NickEastPhoto @allotments @gardening@fedigroups.social @gardening@lemmy.world They count as wild if they have appeared from nowhere. I’ve quite a few in my garden, along with blackberries that appeared the same way. If they had landed in a pot, they would still be the same (although might not be taking over the whole patch of garden they are in which mine have). Those look a fairly good size too.

@NickEastPhoto @allotments @gardening@fedigroups.social @gardening@lemmy.worldHonestly, looking at those makes me crave a taste! Strawberries aren't widely grown here in Nigeria anyway; they can pretty much only be grown up in Plateau State (Jos) where the weather is cooler. I'd love to try growing some in a pot too if I could.
