All the berries you mention in the last paragraph are also native to Europe.

For strawberries, there are many varieties... some from the Americas, some from Europe, some from Asia.

But the variety you eat today is most likely the "garden strawberry", which is a hybrid variety developed in France by crossing Fragaria virginiana (from North America) and Fragaria chiloensis (from South America).

Other varieties of strawberry are not as popular.

Europeans did a great job further developing crops from the Americas. Italians alone bred tomatoes for every culinary purpose you can imagine.
