Definitely not. 1) That's a tree. 2) Strawberries grow low to ground and spread out on running stems. 3) Like you said, berries look too good. Also, leaves look way different on all strawberry varieties, like 3 little saw blades.
The name says it all: straw berry
Farmers/gardeners would lay straw down so the berries have something to rest in other than the ground. Keeps them (and the rest of the plant) from rotting.
In German, they’re “erdbeeren” — which translates to earthberries. (earth/dirt/ground)
I always was told it was because the berries grow at the end of a stiff little stalk, like a piece of straw.
Thanks for this fun fact! I've always wondered why strawberries had such a name
I don't know why you're being downvoted
This place is fickle
99.9% fake, does not look at all like strawberry plant, leaving 0.1% in case of some crazy mutant stuff
The plant is real but you have to put the strawberries manually
No. Those fruits are all way too uniform, the crowns are wrong and the plant they're jammed onto is a bunch of twiglets
Never seen a variety of strawberry that grows on a woody stem.
Also, I thought strawberries had leaves whose edges were serrated and not smooth. Blurry picture though, so its hard to tell.
Strawberry plants grow very close to the ground. I know there's techniques to raise them and I'm sure there are varieties that are taller but that thing looks fake as hell.
