Fruit
Fruits are the mature ovaries of plants that contain ripe seeds ready for dispersal. Of the many kinds of fruits, there are three basic categories:
Dehiscent fruits that split open to shed their seeds.
Indehiscent dry fruits that retain their seeds and are often dispersed as though they were the seed.
Indehiscent fleshy fruits that turn color and entice animals to eat them, meanwhile allowing the undigested seeds to pass from the animal’s gut.
This page showcases the many types of fruits in the Garden.
