Fruit (disambiguation)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In broad terms, a fruit is a structure of a plant that contains its seeds. The term has different meanings dependent on context. In non-technical usage, such as food preparation, fruit normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of certain plants that are sweet and edible in the raw state, such as apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, juniper berries and bananas. Seed-associated structures that do not fit these informal criteria are usually called by other names, such as vegetables, pods, nut, ears and cones. In biology (botany), a "fruit" is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, mainly one or more ovaries. Taken strictly, this definition excludes many structures that are "fruits" in the common sense of the term, such as those produced by non-flowering plants (like juniper berries, which are the seed-containing female cones of conifers), and fleshy fruit-like growths that develop from other plant tissues close to the fruit (accessory fruit, or more rarely false fruit or pseudocarp), such as cashew fruits. Often the botanical fruit is only part of the common fruit, or is merely adjacent to it. On the other hand, the botanical sense includes many structures that are not commonly called "fruits", such as bean pods, corn kernels, wheat grains, tomatoes, and many more. However, there are several variants of the biological definition of fruit that emphasize different aspects of the enormous variety that is found among plant fruits. Fruits (in either sense of the word) are the means by which many plants disseminate seeds. Most edible fruits, in particular, were evolved by plants in order to exploit animals as a means for seed dispersal, and many animals (including humans to some extent) have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Fruits account for a substantial fraction of world's agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.

GNU Free Documentation License How do I repair fruit trees that all the branches have bent over because of heavy fruit? Q. I just moved into my parents old house that has been vacant for a couple of years. They have several fruit trees here but they have been uncared for a year or so. Many of the trees' branches are bent over because of the heaviness of the fruit. What can I do to help correct these trees for next year? There are 4 apple trees and a peach tree. Asked by GluedHands - Wed Sep 2 11:52:42 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I would think the best option would be pruning the low hanging branches as soon as the trees lose their leaves. Just prune up to where you want the branches to hang. Removing the lower branches will alleviate a lot of the weight of the low hanging branches and the upper ones will spring back a great deal on their own.

I've tried making vanilla ice cream and adding cherries and strawberries. Both times the fruit is freezing so hard it's uncomfortable to eat, even when I slice the fruit very thin. Is there some secret to getting the fruit to not freeze so solid? Asked by What I Say - Wed Jul 8 15:58:28 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Since you are not trying to make cherry or strawberry ice cream, you couldn't puree the fruit and mix it in. I would add the fruits to the ice cream as you are eating it. Let the ice cream sit for a few minutes to soften up, then add the fruit to your bowl and mix in the soft ice cream.
