    To anyone watching, this is inherited selection. This guy has been picking out the best strawberry out of 1 plant for 45 years and regrew it every plant cycle, and now has managed to perfect it. All he does now is regrow thousands of strawberry plants out of that perfect strawberry. What a legend!

      Is there that much variation between strawberries on one plant and does that variation correspond to the dna in the seeds of that fruit, and only that fruit?
      I always thought the strawberry flavour would be determined by the plant and the dna in its seeds determined by the plant and the plant it pollenated with.

      What a pathetic greedy miserly old man. Most countries such as the Middle East or Pakistan would offer something that was as such high value to them for free as a guest (check vloggers all over youtube who frequent these places showing and proclaiming how hospitable the people are) they maybe poor in material terms but they are rich in the heart and contentment which makes all the difference, this miserly old bitter man couldn't even offer one from the farm he grows for the camera! This is what happens when wealth and money become your god till you almost worship them and you have no contentment and all you see is poverty.

    I worked on a strawberry farm in the 80’s. They had this crazy variety that was just amazing! They were huge and honestly tasted of nothing I’d had before or since….I still think about them to this day. Farm stopped growing them because the supermarkets hated them because you couldn’t get many in a punnet and it buggered up their weights.

      Exactly.
      The 350 pound’s strawberry is the man’s life work. May be even going back generations. Careful selective breeding.
      So its fair enough to say that I won’t spend 350 pounds on a strawberry but it’s unfairly denigrating to say that the strawberry isn’t even a strawberry bla bla bla 🙄
      People pay a huge amount for caviar or truffles. And in the case of truffles, they aren’t even cultivated.
      So what i hope is that this horticulturalist allows people to use his “seed/cuttings” etc and gets a license fee for life from it.
      Hopefully it brings the price of the strawberries down while he makes the money he deserves for cultivating the strawberry

    Great strawberries are rare. The ones at the shop are mostly flavourless, or even a bit sour, depending on the time of year. Sometimes you get lucky and get some nice ones.

    I think there’s a whole luxury fruit market in Japan where these prices are somewhat normal. Apparently a lot of effort and genetic tweaking goes into growing the fruit. It wouldn’t be aimed at most people. I could not afford one of those fruits anyway, but I find that my local supermarket strawberries are just fine and absolutely delicious. If I really want to splash the cash, I’ll get some from m&s😂

      The whole reason theses market's exist is expensive gifts for executives, most of the fruit is thrown away as it is not really that good tasting to begin with. It is all about the extravagance. You can find many youtubers trying these products and being disappointed.

    Most farmers like to grow big and flavourless strawberries because that gets them more money. They could grow smaller and much tastier strawberries if they wanted to, but they just choose not to do it, as people buy them anyway.
    Usually if a strawberry smells like nothing, then it tastes like nothing. Good strawberries have a really strong strawberry-smell.

      in the USA where i live blackberry/raspberry/marion berry bushes are an invasive nuisance. you find them, taken over an entire region, and spiders have moved in to completely defend the entire 'forest' of thorny hostile bushes with an impenetrable shield of silk. they become a huge pain in the butt to get after in mid summer but man.. there is no store that can sell you something like a dirty, spiderweb, thorn laden, perfectly ripe berry in the PNW. there are a lot of boutiques that try but it isn't the same as searching a gigantic 12 foot tall bush to find the ripest one.
