Not all wild strawberries fruit I can tell if they are barren if you get a pic of the leaves

Oh man, really?
I'll be gutted if this patch NEVER fruits as there's billions of them. What should I look out for in barren ones?

They do offer something :-) pick lots of the young leaves and dry them for a strawberry leaf tea they are good green in salads also
