 | | Fruits also play a critical role in dispersing seeds, increasing the likelihood that at least some will land in an environment favorable for germination, or sprouting, which helps to perpetuate the plant species. | | | The process of fruit formation begins with pollination, the transfer of pollen from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another, which prepares the plant for fertilization. | | | Some fruits with the word berry in their names, such as raspberry and strawberry, develop differently and are not really berries at all. |

| | Fruit Identification Outline |
| | The grain is truly a fruit (not a seed) because it came from a separate ripened ovary within the grass inflorescence. | | | After fertilization, the flower stalk of the peanut curves downward, and the developing fruit (legume) is forced into the ground by the proliferation and elongation of cells under the ovary. | | | A slender, dry, dehiscent fruit that superficially resemble a legume, except the mustard silique is composed of two carpels with a partition or septum down the center (i.e. |

| | Almond - Prunus dulcis |
| | Fruits may be dried and hulled immediately, or stockpiled for fumigation against Navel Orangeworm after harvest. | | | Rainfall is deleterious anytime during growth; during bloom, it decreases bee activity and therefore fruit set; during fruit development it causes fungal and bacterial diseases; prior to harvest it can cause brown rot or Rhizopus rot of fruits as shucks split. | | | In intensive orchards, soils are managed similar to other stone fruits, but less-intensive plantings of the Mediterranean area occur on calcareous, rocky, and droughty soils. |

| | Fruit, Nutrition, and Evolution. |
| | Apart from being highly favored by fruit fly maggots in their native range (which cause them to drop prematurely and destroy the pulp) where edible fruit could be found, they would have been a favored food of the humans expanding down into South America in ancient times. | | | Avocado fruits are a dream fruit for the human animal- heavy bearing, easily digestible, fruiting all year round (in tropical areas), no toxicity, they store 'on the tree' for months, nearly twice the amount of protein as rice, for example, and with a similar calorific value to sustain daily activity. | | | Wild apricots are very similar to cultivated varieties, except that the fruit are smaller, as are the stones, with the amount of flesh relative to the stone also being less favorable. |

| | Natural Food - Fruit and human evolution. |
| | Many of the wild fruits that we ate have chemicals in them to dissuade people and other animals from eating them before the seed inside is fully mature. | | | Some berries and 'pome' fruits were both small and rather mealy (some species of mulberry, the various Sorbus species, the jujube), and could be dried to a certain extent for later use, especially in the Mediterranean area and South West Asia. | | | Fruits are full of antioxidants and cancer suppressing chemicals, they are a valuable energy source, and have fibres, gums and pectins whose health qualities are only just beginning to be discovered. |

Both New Zealand and California produce one principal variety, the Hayward. | | | The kiwi fruit was a much-appreciated treat in ancient China, and was introduced into New Zealand in 1906, where it was called "Chinese gooseberry" (although it isn't related to the green gooseberry). | | | Kiwi fruit blends well with other fruits and makes a striking garnish, but it is also highly satisfying (and nutritious) eaten on its own. |

| | Fruit crate labels are very much larger than fruit labels, typically about 9 inches (23cm) wide by 6 inches (16cm) high, and they had a different function; they were used to label boxes or crates which contained fruit and not the actual fruit. | | | Fruit labels, known as fruit stickers in the U.S.A., are not the same as 'Fruit Crate' labels. | | | A further inconvenience to fruit eaters and label collectors is that an increasing number of fruit labels incorporate cuts in the backing material so that the label tears when being removed. |
