Fragaria viridis
Fragaria viridis, the creamy or green strawberry, is a small perennial wild strawberry of Europe and central Asia, valued for its fine, acidic flavour. The key to growing it is giving it full sun, well-drained soil and a cool, moist climate, as it is a plant of open woodland edges and grassland.
Fragaria viridis, commonly called creamy strawberry or green strawberry, is a species of strawberry native to Europe and central Asia. It has fruits with fine flavour. They have surprisingly little of the usual strawberry aroma, but a refreshing acidity, and sometimes ripen without becoming red. When they are plucked from the plant, the calyx will usually adhere and they will detach with a noticeable snapping sound.
All strawberries have a base haploid count of 7 chromosomes. Fragaria viridis is diploid, having 2 pairs of these chromosomes for a total of 14 chromosomes. Fragaria viridis is approximately 6.24 million years old.
