Yep, mock strawberry. Not bad for you but do NOT taste good. My kids used to call them fairy strawberries.


LavenderDisaster

Yet my dog LOVES them!

But dogs eat vomit, cicadas & many other things. 😂 Child me remembers them tasting like sawdust, moisture, and disappointment.

so that’s what dogs taste like?


LavenderDisaster

Well sure they do! Dogs are weird creatures and mine is no different. But since he loves them, I pick them occasionally for him. And after your description of their taste, I'm tempted to try one.....I'll let you know 🤣

They taste like the water strawberries were cleaned in.


Lilaclupines

They don't taste bad though, they don't taste like much at all.

This has got to be the most frequently posted plant here.

Depends on the season. This time of year its a lot of wild and false strawberries and mulberry. Later it'll be pokeweed


Dog1andDog2andMe

Three things I have in my yard! Just found the mulberry growing along the back fence this weekend.

Hopefully you'll get some berries. I have a whole tree and in two years have yet to see one hit the ground


Dog1andDog2andMe

That's why I realized it is a mulberry this year, first time I've seen berries on it. Also noticed berries on a neighbor's tree across the street for the first time so this must be the year for the mulberry trees to have berries in my neighborhood.

Pokeweed has started making appearances. Not here yet that I've seen but a couple other subs. One turned into an Elvis discussion because of poke salad annie.


Deathbyhours

In my observation it’s mulberries.

See the seeds are poking out from the fruit?.. typically a sign of a ‘false strawberry’. Actual strawberries are shaped a little less round and their seeds are more like dimples vs zits lol So my guess is False Strawberry.


BlackSeranna

Ok I will never forget your description but now I will never forget it because it is grossing me out hahaha


Neither-Attention940

Lmao!

There is a wild strawberry, but it's fruit hangs from plant just like a reg strawberry. If it's on top it's a mock.

In north New Jersey for context.


BlackSeranna

I have eaten one. It tastes flavorless. Not sweet or anything.

Wild strawberry

We called these bunny berries as kids. And yes, can confirm they very much taste like sadness, disappointment, and that weird aspirin like taste we’ve all had from time to time.

It's an invasive species from India.
