Wild strawberry

Wild strawberry / Woodland strawberry
Fragaria vesca
Rose family

A perennial plant that grows naturally throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. Fruits look like miniatures of store-bought strawberries.

As an everbearing fruit, wild strawberries will ripen whenever the weather conditions suit them. This can range from May to late October depending on the region’s temperatures.

Avoid harvesting berries from that plant if you see green-tinged or smaller than usual flowers. This can be a sign of an infected or disease-ridden plant.
