 | | At maturity, the ripened ovary, or fruit, encloses the ripened ovules, or seeds. | | | 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. |

| | Nut (fruit) Encyclopedia Article @ NaturalResearch.org |
| | Almond, is the edible seed of a drupe - the leathery "flesh" is removed at harvest. | | | A nut in botany is a simple dry fruit with one seed (rarely two) in which the ovary wall becomes very hard (stony or woody) at maturity, and where the seed remains unattached or unfused with the ovary wall. | | | A nut is a seed of a plant. |

| | 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. | | | At maturity the pericarp is dry and free from the internal seed, except at the placental attachment. |

| | 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 |
| | The mature size of a fruit tree is determined by rootstocks and sometimes by an INTERSTEM graft. | | | After planting, all fruit trees should be pruned to a height of 24 to 28 inches. | | | Fruit trees provide color in the landscape when in bloom and in fruit. |

| | 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. |
| | Fruit supply in the equatorial forests is less seasonal, whereas in the drier areas it is tied partly to temperature, and partly to the seasonality of rains. | | | 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. |

| | Kiwi fruit |
| | Today, kiwi fruit is also a commercial crop in California. | | | (The fruit keeps well for up to 10 months in cold storage, allowing it to be brought to market for several months after it is harvested.) Both New Zealand and California produce one principal variety, the Hayward. | | | When you cut (or bite) through its thin brown skin, which is covered with a downy fuzz, you reach velvety bright green flesh sprinkled with a ring of tiny, edible black seeds. |
