Strawberries, this sweet and juicy fruit, are loved by people all over the world. But, do you know when strawberries first appeared?How does it grow?Today, let's walk into the long history of strawberries and explore its mysteries.
According to archaeologists, strawberries can be traced back to Europe and North America around 300 BC. At that time, wild strawberries were widely distributed in the forests and grasslands of these areas, and were used as food and herbs by the local population. These wild strawberries have a sour taste and are nowhere near as sweet strawberries as we know them today.
Over time, people began experimenting with domesticating wild strawberries to make them sweeter in taste and fuller in their fruits. After several generations, in the mid-18th century, a French horticulturist succeeded in cultivating the first sweet strawberry in the modern sense. The new strawberry quickly spread across Europe and was widely welcomed. Since then, strawberries have become a regular in orchards and gardens around the world.
So, how do strawberries grow?In fact, the process of growing strawberries is full of magic. Every spring, strawberry plants send out stolons from their roots, which grow close to the ground and form new plantlets in place. These plantlets are the strawberry fruit of the future. Over time, these plantlets grow and eventually form the familiar strawberry fruit in the summer. This process requires the right temperature, humidity and light conditions, as well as careful care from the growers.
In order for strawberries to grow healthily, growers need to choose well-drained, fertile soil and keep it moist. They also need to prune the plants regularly to remove excess leaves and shoots and ensure that the plants are able to absorb the sun and nutrients adequately. At the same time, the prevention and control of pests and diseases is also one of the important tasks of fruit growers. This is the only way to ensure that every strawberry is healthy and delicious.
