''Fragaria x ananassa'' has eight sets of [[chromosomes]] whereas ''Fragaria vesca'' has only two sets. Repeated attempts to cross these resulted in [[infertility|sterile]] offspring.<br /> <br /> Researchers treated tissue from a ''Fragaria vesca'' plant with [[colchicine]] to create a [[mutant]] plant with four sets of chromosomes. This mutant was then crossed with a ''Fragaria x ananassa'' plant, and vigorous fertile offspring were obtained. The offspring were found to be [[polyploidy|decaploid]], (having ten sets of chromosomes).<br /> <br /> ''Fragaria × vescana'' is not yet commercially important, but remains under development. While the plants are vigorous like their ''F. × ananassa'' parents, and the berries have the excellent flavour of the ''F. vesca'' parents, the berries are still quite small.<br /> <br /> ==''F. x vescana'' cultivars==<br /> The following decaploid strawberries were released by the Swedish breeding program at Balsgård:<br /> <br /> '''Annelie''' (1977)<br /> <br /> '''Sara''' (1988) — Annelie x [(Sparkle x ''F. vesca'' 4x) open pollinated]<br /> <br /> '''Rebecka''' (1998) — (Fern x ''F. vesca'' 4x) x ''F. x ananassa'' F861502<br /> <br /> <br /> German ''F. x vescana'' cultivars:<br /> <br /> '''Spadeka''' (1990?)<br /> <br /> '''Florika''' (1990) — (Sparkle x ''F. vesca semperflorens'') x Klettererdebeere H.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> [http://www.actahort.org/books/348/348_4.htm Bauer, A. 1993.
