What percentage of reproduction in strawberries is done asexually?

Tried every site I could think of and am out of ideas.

Thanks for any possible help.

Domesticated, I would say it is virtually 100%, because the strawberries will be hybrids that are unlikely to come true from seed. Of course, breeders will be trying to find new varieties, but probably only 1 in 1000 crosses ever make it.

In the wild, more difficult. Wouldn't have a clue, in which case it must be 50:50

answer #1 is good. Commercially, 100%, nature (because of runners) probably more asexually???????
