Introduction

1. Fragaria iinumae is a species of strawberry native to Japan and eastern Russia.
2. In Japan it was first discovered on Mount Nogohaku and the name Nogo Fragaria was given.
3. All strawberries have a base haploid count of 7 chromosomes. Fragaria iinumae is diploid, having 2 pairs of these chromosomes for a total of 14 chromosomes.
4. F. iinumae strawberry plants are quite versatile. They can grow in partial shade or full sun and are found in the alpine and sub-alpine regions of Japan.
5. F. iinumae can even grow well in slilghtly alkaline soils. Its typical maximum growth is about 0.3 meters or 1 foot.
6. The berries can be eaten, and young plants can be added to soups.Otherwise, the functionality of these strawberry plants is currently limited to decorative purposes.
