Strawberry

Fragaria × ananassa

Also known as: Fragaria × ananassa

A herbaceous perennial in the rose family (Rosaceae) — the modern garden strawberry is a hybrid (*F. × ananassa*) of a North American species and a Chilean species, produced accidentally in an 18th-century French royal garden when the two were planted near each other. Most cultivated fruits descend from very old domestications; the strawberry of supermarket aisles is one of the youngest major fruits in cultivation.

Scientific

Fragaria × ananassa is a hybrid of Fragaria virginiana (eastern North American) and Fragaria chiloensis (Chilean). The accidental hybridization occurred in the [[vietnamese-creole-new-orleans-east|Versailles]] royal garden in the 1750s, where the two had been planted together. The hybrid combined the eastern species’ flavor with the Chilean species’ size — and within decades had displaced both parents in European cultivation.

The “berry” is technically an aggregate accessory fruit — the visible flesh is enlarged receptacle tissue, and the seeds (achenes) on the outside are the true fruits.

Cultural

European wood strawberries (Fragaria vesca) had been gathered and lightly cultivated since antiquity. The hybrid garden strawberry’s 18th-century origin and rapid global spread make it one of the most recently-domesticated major fruit crops.

Global production

Top producers: China, USA, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt.
