Fragaria vesca or the "woodland strawberry" occurs naturally throughout the northern hemishphere. It was cultivated in Europe for centuries before being largely replaced by the domestic strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa, which has much larger berries. Fragaria vesca is still grown on a small scale comercially, for use in epicures, as they have an exquisite flavor.
Unlike most commercial and garden varieties of strawberries, Fragaria vesca rarely forms runners and is usually propogated via seeds.
There are varieties of Fragaria vesca with berries that are green, white, or yellow when fully ripe, in addition to the customary red.
All Fragaria species have 7 types of chromosomes. Fragaria vesca is diploid, having two pairs of these chromosomes for a total of 14.
