What is Fruit???

          When you hear the word fruit you are probably thinking of those delcious.... fruits, that we eat! But there is so much more to fruit than just the stuff we eat. By definition the fruit is the flowering part of a  plant that contains the seeds. There are fruits that we eat, Apple, Plums, Pear, Lemon, Banana and there are fruit that we don't eat, Milkweed pods, Holly, Ivy, Mistletoe and Suicide tree fruit (I wouldn't eat that either!) Tomorrow I will post about the different catagories of fruit.
