Some of the cultivated varieties are crosses between different older cultivars, some are selected from the wild stock but to keep them true cuttings have to be propogated. When they are growing them for wildlife they use seeds to propogate as they want as much diversity and they can get and its cheaper to grow seedlings. An interesting way to harvest seeds is to put them in a food processor with some water, whirl it for a few seconds, pour off the juice and bits of flesh and keep doing it until the water is clear. The ripe seeds are hard and wont be chopped up by the blade. After we read how they harvest these seeds we now have no problem using an imersion blender to chop up our strawberries.
