SC - Cherries and strawberries

[allilyn at juno.com]

>>"Fraise du bois" are available, but you will probably need to grow your
own
or purchase them through a specialty grocer.  I know that the berries are
unavailable in any of my local markets.<<

In my garden in Ohio, the previous owner had regular modern commercial
strawberries.  The root stock must have been a good, hardy one.  It
remained, bore the Fraise du bois, American wild strawberry version, and
kept producing a few berries every year for at least 7 years.  They got
little sun, and ducked that by creeping under the volunteer mulberry
tree, no special plant food, and no watering other than Nature provided. 
They were wonderfully sweet, very fragile, and juicy, bright red,
slightly elongated, no longer the store strawberry shape.  These are the
only ones I've ever known to do that, and I wish I had them here in PA.
