Berry

The types of fleshy fruits are berries, pomes, and drupes.

In everyday English, a "berry" is any small edible fruit.

The fruit (technically berries in the strict botanical sense) of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type.

The blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum), also known as black currant or cassis, is a deciduous shrub in the family Grossulariaceae grown for its edible berries.

Like the tomato, persimmons are not commonly considered to be berries, but morphologically the fruit is in fact a berry.

However, the Oxford English Dictionary takes the more literal derivation from goose and berry as probable because "the grounds on which plants and fruits have received names associating them with animals are so often inexplicable that the inappropriateness in the meaning does not necessarily give good grounds for believing that the word is an etymological corruption".

Such fruits are often termed berries, although botanists use a different definition of berry.

The flowers are green to white, followed by berries which ripen through red to purple to almost black which are a food source for songbirds such as gray catbird, northern mockingbird, northern cardinal, and brown thrasher, as well as other birds and some small animals (i.e., to species that are unaffected by its mammalian toxins).

The majority of natural dyes are derived from non-animal sources: roots, berries, bark, leaves, wood, fungi and lichens.
