Fragaria vesca, commonly known as Woodland Strawberries, are one of the oldest strawberry species cultivated and enjoyed in Europe, dating back to ancient Roman times. These petite berries are prized for their intensely sweet, aromatic flavor that far surpasses most modern commercial strawberries, with a soft texture and rich perfume-like scent. They are naturally small—often no larger than a fingernail—and grow on compact plants that produce delicate white flowers followed by bright red berries. Woodland strawberries thrive in forests, meadows, and shaded garden edges, spreading by runners and forming attractive low-growing mats, making them both ornamental and delicious.
