@kjhvm or @kevinfolta These are diploid right? Would they be small wild-type fruit, or large and tasty? pic.twitter.com/lwOEBeiPK3

@ksenapathy @kevinfolta Sounds right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragaria_vesca Might be mis-named as well.

Kavin Senapathy ‏@ksenapathy

@kjhvm @kevinfolta So either they're the small diploid or aren't really Fragaria Vesca, and mislabeled? Don't know who'd want to grow those?

Kevin Folta ‏@kevinfolta

@ksenapathy @kjhvm I grow them... they are F. vesca, diploid, and nothing imprecise about the package.

@kevinfolta @kjhvm The picture of the strawberry looks misleading then pic.twitter.com/vNgRGzDpM9

Kevin Folta ‏@kevinfolta

@ksenapathy @kjhvm yes, 100%. That's F x ananassa on the picture. Those are octoploids!

@kevinfolta @kjhvm I thought so!!! Thank you. I am going to write a quick post. Also the "non-GMO" thing is silly.

@ksenapathy @kjhvm Exactly. Shows why labeling is misleading. Also, commercial strawberry does not occur in nature- anywhere. Hybrid by man

@kevinfolta @ksenapathy @kjhvm why not do what Ndt suggests Lab/Ag grown?

Sorry, Twitter is taking too long to load.
