| Let us know how it goes. Strawberry seeds can be tricky to germinate. Usually only wild ones come true to seed. So not sure you can actually grow these if hybrids? |

| They are probably over exaggerating the new “purple wonder strawberry” variety. Yes, it is darker in color but not black as depicted on the ad. New Breed of Strawberry Is Deep Purple http://www.livescience.com/18805-strawberry-breed-purple.html Purple Strawberries |

| This subject of black or whatever strawberries seems to come up every couple of months. I still haven't heard anyone report back on whether or not they got any to fruit/what they look like. Even the reviews I see for these on websites are always "I hope they are black when they fruit".... I'm skeptical. Please keep us posted, even if you can't get them to sprout! |

| Going to give it a shot..I kinda figured they are fake or kind of like black tomatoes..but I like a challenge..thank you for the responses |

| I'd love to grow some black strawberries, but like the rest of you I'm highly skeptical, as I can only ever find the same two pictures of the things and they set off my photoshop sense something awful. I find people referencing black strawberries being used in London, but I can't find anything to actually back that up (you know, like restaurants in London saying they serve them). I'm rather disappointed the GMO blue strawberries were a hoax, I would have bought those in a heartbeat. I see "african blue strawberries" on ebay, but those are even fishier than the blacks. |
