FIG. 5-3. A male Fragaria moschata plant. Gardeners in the early 1700's tore this plant from their strawberry beds because it did not fruit and so was said to be sterile. Duchesne found its pollen was necessary to fertilize the female plant and he used the pollen on female Fragaria chiloensis and made this "stubborn" strawberry produce fruit. (by Duchesne)
