The Elder Strawberry is a multi-harvest, Prismatic crop that was added in the Corrupted Event (also known as the Zen Event – Part II) in Grow a Garden.
It is categorized as both a Berry and a Fruit type crop, meaning that it benefits from any items or effects that target these crop types, such as the Berry Blusher Sprinkler.
Appearance
The Elder Strawberry closely resembles a real strawberry but with a more mystical appearance. The fruit transitions from a deep red to a dark pinkish hue, decorated with white seed-like dots. The top is adorned with green leaves that point diagonally upward and have slightly flat ends.
The seed itself features a dark pink to red gradient and looks similar to a Mushroom Seed. The Elder Strawberry plant stands taller than an ordinary strawberry plant, with a thicker stem and layered leaves. Each leaf can grow a single Elder Strawberry fruit, and the leaves share the same color and texture as the produce itself.
