Citrus or Berry?

[ToffeeBlueNose]

what is your fruit of choice? do you prefer citrus fruits or berry fruits or tropical fruits?

Grapefruit is my fave and much rather have citrus than berry.

Tropical fruits are reserved for pizza topping obviously haha.

None of the above, as apples don't fall into any category bizarrely.

I like apples but I do enjoy a lot of berries. Both really. At the moment I'm eating a lot of plums as they are ready to harvest here now.

Wikipedia:
"In botany, a pome (after the French name for an apple: pomme) is a type of fruit produced by flowering plants in the Subfamily Maloideae of the Family Rosaceae.

A pome is an accessory fruit composed of five or more carpels in which the exocarp forms an inconspicuous layer. The mesocarp is usually fleshy, and the endocarp forms a leathery case around the seed. Outside of the endocarp is the most edible part of this fruit, derived from the floral tube (torus) and other parts, which corresponds to what is commonly called the core. The shriveled remains of the sepals, style and stamens can be seen at the end of a pome opposite the stem, demonstrating that the ovary is inferior in these flowers.

I don't even know if this has helped wtf is a pome
