I have found the plant in my yard this year and I am glad to know what they are. Ran across your garden and saw this. They are in my Iris plants. Didn' t know what to do with them. Glad to know what they are. I have the one with the yellow flower. Growing up as a child me and all the kids in the neighborhood would pick them and eat them all the time. Maybe I am confused but I have two different type of supposedly wild strawberries growing around my home one of them has 5 leaves I'm assuming that's the wild one and the other has only three leaves, could you clear that up for me, thank you in advance.
First of all, I'm not sure the mock strawberry is available commercially. They do grow wild, as the wild blueberry, so is it possible to mass produce them? However, they are MUCH smaller than the "normal" strawberries people are accustomed to. Keep in mind, they have a bitterness to them with only a bit of a sweetness that comes and goes rather quickly.
Honestly, although edible, I don't think it's a good go to for your product s. I don't think people would want to just go out and pluck them up like a regular strawberry. In fact, they may avoid them. One has to have an acquired taste for them. Also, they have a different texture from other strawberries. They feel bumpy or maybe even prickly on the tongue. I have found these creeping into my yard. I haven't come across a berry yet to know which kind they are. I am trying to nurture them because for some reason I do not have a green thumb.
Thank you for the information. That I honestly don't know. I've never had a big enough problem with them to need to try and get rid of them. Unfortunately, you may need to talk to some one who is licensed to spray yards. They may charge a hefty fee, but they may be able to chemically treat your yard correctly and maybe take care of a few other troubles along the way.
If you find out anything I'd welcome you to comment back for anyone else with the same question. I'll include your information in the article if you'd like and mention you as the source.
Hey, Karen! Thank you so much for the awesome compliment!
