Origin of wild strawberry cultivar

Wild strawberry cultivars are often selected forms of wild populations; therefore, their origin is described either as unknown or by specifying breeding methods, such as selection from the wild or hybridization. This parameter is for reference purposes and is used to identify the cultivar and understand its evolutionary context.

For an agronomist, the origin of a cultivar serves as an indirect indicator when assessing the biological properties of the crop. For example, cultivars of alpine origin often exhibit remontancy. Knowledge of the origin helps to predict the plant's response to temperature regimes, winter hardiness levels, and resistance to pathogens.
