Strawberry story
The dots on a strawberry
Each small dot on the outside is a fruit containing a seed.
The real seeds are inside the dots
A strawberry’s familiar red portion is enlarged flower tissue; the little outer achenes are the true fruits.
Two strawberries met in France
Modern garden strawberries arose from a cross between North and South American species grown in Europe.
New plants from runners
Strawberry plants send out runners that can root and grow into genetically matching new plants.
