View photos of the edible and medicinal plant Fragaria vesca (Wild strawberry), profiled in Medicinal Plants of the Western Mountain States, Wild Edible Plants of Arizona, and Wild Edible Plants of New Mexico.

A passage from Medicinal Plants of the Western Mountain States:

The plant’s flavonoid–tannin complexes are specific to the reproductive area; in fact, consider Wild strawberry a fair replacement for Red raspberry. 1 cup of tea daily as a last–trimester uterine tonic is a practical dosage/application. Even as a soothing and tonifying postpartum wash/sitz bath, the plant is nearly identical in use to Red raspberry.

A passage from Wild Edible Plants of Arizona:

From the Kaibab Plateau and San Francisco Peaks, to the Mogollon Rim, White Mountains, and Sky Islands, look to high elevations for Wild strawberry. It is most often found in dappled shade with Fir, Spruce, and/or Aspen overhead.

A passage from Wild Edible Plants of New Mexico:

The drawbacks to Wild strawberry are its small fruit size and erratic fruit development. Plants lower in elevation are often sterile. The best fruit producers grow at about 9500’ and higher.
