Best Answer

'Wild [or woodland] strawberry' is a common name for 'Fragaria vesca'. The scientific name literally means 'fragrant little'. That's because the plant has a delicately pleasant fragrance, and it hugs the ground.

Wild strawberry therefore is a fragrant, effective and attractive alternative to turf. It's a wise choice in the area of shrubs and trees. Specifically, it helps hold the soil together against erosion. But it doesn't need to be mowed. So shrubs and plants aren't threatened by the soil compaction and woody plant body part injuries that tend to be side effects of mowing.

What is the scientific name for wild strawberry?

It's actually not a fruit or vegetable. It's an "accessory fruit", or pseudofruit. A fruit, by definition would have seeds. Strawberries propagate through "shoots" the plant sends out separate from the strawberries, not through seeds. It is also an aggregate-accessory fruit, only one in which the seeds are contained in achenes.

The Garden Strawberry was first bred in Europe in the early 18th century via an accidental cross of Fragaria virginiana from eastern North America, which was noted for its flavour, and Fragaria chiloensis from Chile, which was noted for its large size. Cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa have replaced in commercial production the Woodland Strawberry (see below), which was the first strawberry species cultivated in the early 17th century. Fragaria vesca, commonly known as Woodland Strawberry occurs naturally throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Other names for this species include Fraises des Bois, Wild (European) Strawberry, European Strawberry and Alpine Strawberry the latter usually in reference to the cultivated varieties such as Fragaria vesca 'Semperflorens'.
