Strawberries (Fragaria) belong to the rose family (Rosaceae) and therefore belong to the same plant family as apples, cherries, quinces and many other types of fruit. Ornamental shrubs such as the foxglove (Potentilla), the firethorn (Pyracantha) and the spirea (Spiraea) also belong to this family. Typical of the plant family are the relatively simple flowers with five petals. The natural range of strawberries extends across America, Europe and Asia. The ancestors of our cultivated strawberry come from America: the North American scarlet strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) and the Chilean strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) arrived in Europe in the middle of the 18th century. At this time, the so-called pineapple strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) was created from a cross between the two species - a hybrid that is considered to be the original form of today's garden strawberries. A variety of the native wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is the monthly strawberry (Fragaria vesca var. semperflorens), which flowers from May to October and bears fruit continuously. For this reason, they are nowadays called everbearing or remontant strawberries. Of the approximately 1,000 strawberry varieties worldwide, around 100 are cultivated in Germany, predominantly the once-bearing garden strawberries.
