Strawberries don't grow on trees they are plants.

Strawberries grow on plants, and Chicago is in the midwest, and yes you can grow and buy strawberry plants in the midwest. They are out of season right now though, being that it is winter there. If you are in Chicago (the midwest) I am surprised that you do not know this. Locate a hardware store, or a gardening store, you can go to the rack of seeds, pick out the seeds, and then you can grow your own plants in the spring. I think it will take 2 or 3 years before you will get strawberries tp pick though, and you will need a couple packs of seeds so you can plant enough to get pollinated.
Good luck, and send some this way ;o)

Strawberry trees are plants
Arbutus unedo - Irish Strawberry Tree
Cornus capitata - Himalayan Strwberry tree
Contact local nursery for ordering or advise if they are suitable to your area
