Sorry I still haven't a list ready, but i know from several
books about growing fruit that the are original of new world or asian origin.
Especially gooseberry (against a illness comeing from america, now american
kinds are used), apples (asian, american), hazelnuts (lamberts).

I came over the strawberries in a book over nutrition in ancient Rome
and i must say that the small "wood-strawberries" taste MUCH better to me
than the big cultivated "garden-Strawberries" which are comeing from the
new world as i know now.
