Yes I certainly think those are strawberries. If they have a vine like growth linking one plant to the next closest (not in all cases but some) then that’s a tell tail sign because that’s how strawberries spread.

The flowers should turn into small green berries soon. I have strawberries growing in my garden and most of mine have the berries forming already. Soon it will be time to eat fresh strawberries. Yum.

Strawberries. They are all over Fairbanks if you look closely. They produce a few, microscopic berries, if they produce at all.

They sure look like wild strawberries, but if they are anything like what grows in my Indiana yard, get the commercial varieties for that strawberry jar. Mine produce pea-sized, hard fruit with lots of seeds and not much flavor.

Tricia – Thank you! I really appreciate the help.

Maritza – Yeah, now if we don’t mow for, oh, say, a summer, maybe we’ll get some berries!

Coldfoot – Bummer. I was all excited about transplanting them into the berry patch in the backyard.

Msdemmie – A neighbor of mine growing up had those, they were about the size of a pencil eraser and SO delicious.

Sue – We bought a few bags of strawberries and planted them in the backyard patch earlier this spring, I was just hoping to augment them with these, if indeed they really were strawberries. I think we’ll probably just leave now, though, since they aren’t likely to produce much fruit. Thanks!

Mr. Fab – Yeah, yeah, just jump on the berry bandwagon, why dontcha.

That looks like a wild strawberry plant, not a cultivated strawberry. Same flowers, but the leaves are much smaller. That means you should be getting vry tiny but really sweet wild strawberries, just like the kind that grow in scandanavia.
