Can You Plant To Grow A Whole Dew Berry?

Question

All over my yard I have huge thickets of what look like miniature strawberries. My father says they’re Dew Berries, are they? They do have a mild strawberry taste. I know strawberry seeds are tiny, so these must be minuscule(?). If they truly are Dew berries, can I simply plant the fruit itself to start my own garden? Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

A dewberry looks more like a raspberry so I wonder if you have mock strawberries growing? They flower yellow instead of white. Here are other possibilities:
