The word 'succulent fruit' is synonymous to fleshy fruit and both words are often used interchangeably. [1] [2] Fruits can be classed as fleshy fruits or dry fruits based on their pericarp. Anatomically, fleshy fruits have a fleshy pericarp which is divided in three layers: an outermost exocarp or epicarp, a middle mesocarp and the innermost ...
Flowering occurs from February to June and the fruit is a fleshy, white, yellow or purplish, more or less spherical drupe 5–9 mm (0.2–0.4 in) long, that matures from May to December. The fruit are four-lobed and have a tuft of hairs on the end.
Cam sành (Vietnamese: [kaːm ʂâjŋ̟]) [1] [2] or King orange (Citrus reticulata × sinensis) [1] is a citrus hybrid originating in Vietnam.. Cam sành is Vietnamese for "terracotta orange", although the fruit is more akin to a mandarin or tangerine.
They can be either fleshy or dry. In fleshy fruit, during development, the pericarp and other accessory structures become the fleshy portion of the fruit. [2] The types of fleshy fruits are berries, pomes, and drupes. [3] In berries, the entire pericarp is fleshy but this excludes the exocarp which acts as more as a skin.
The fleshy, edible portion of the fruit is an aril, surrounding one dark brown inedible seed that is 1 to 3.3 cm long and 0.6 to 1.2 cm wide (0.39–1.30 by 0.24–0.47 in). Some cultivars produce a high percentage of fruits with shriveled aborted seeds known as 'chicken tongues'.
Fruits are usually of medium size, between 2–7 centimetres (0.79–2.76 in) in diameter, globose to oval. The flesh is firm and juicy. The fruit's peel is smooth, with a natural waxy surface that adheres to the flesh. The plum is a drupe, meaning its fleshy fruit surrounds a single hard fruitstone which encloses the fruit's seed.
In botany, a drupe (or stone fruit) is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp, or skin, and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a single shell (the pip (UK), pit (US), stone, or pyrena) of hardened endocarp with a seed (kernel) inside. Drupes do not split open to release the seed, i.e., they are indehiscent. [1]
Prunus avium, sweet cherry P. cerasus, sour cherry Germersdorfer variety cherry tree in blossom. Prunus subg.Cerasus contains species that are typically called cherries. They are known as true cherries [1] and distinguished by having a single winter bud per axil, by having the flowers in small corymbs or umbels of several together (occasionally solitary, e.g. P. serrula; some species with ...
