Are they still wild strawberries if I grew them in a pot? Or are they more like semi-feral strawberries? 😜😂

Those look like mock strawberries. I’ve heard they don’t taste too good.
They look like mock strawberries to me because the seeds project out rather than being in a dimple.
Mock strawberries taste very watery. Not necessarily gross, but not really desirable either.
vesca’s seeds grow out, virginiania’s are dimpled.
Kind of like watery foam
They look like wild California strawberries to me, which I’ve grown in the past and were sweet and delicious:

yah, mock strawberries, in my experience, don’t get that big.
i’ve never had the vesca, but i grow virginiania, and while small, they are very delicious. vesca is very similar, from my understanding.
