The garden strawberry is a hybrid first bred in Brittany, France in the 1750s by crossing a Chilean variety with a North American one. The resulting fruit spread across Europe and eventually produced the modern commercial strawberry. The US now grows 1.4 billion pounds per year, 90% of it in California.
