Simple fruit
Simple fruits are the result of the ripening-to-fruit of a simple or compound ovary in a single flower with a single pistil.[1][2][3][4] In contrast, a single flower with numerous pistils typically produces an aggregate fruit; and the merging of several flowers, or a 'multiple' of flowers, results in a 'multiple' fruit. A simple fruit is further classified as either dry or fleshy.[5][6][7]
