  There’s a legumes joke in there, but I dunno.

    Peanuts claim to be nuts, but they aren’t a legumtimate part of the family.

    I dunno.

      Monosodium Legumtimate.

  Sorry if I’m misunderstanding your post, but cashews are not drupes, not nuts. I don’t know whether all true nuts come from trees, but all the ones I can think of do.

    Strawberries sure as hell aren’t nuts either but we’re playing pretty fast and loose with words and meanings.

      The “nut” from a cashew is the seed a stone fruit (like the center of a peach pit). The strawberry “seed” is the entire fruit.

        I don’t see why the apple from a cashew can’t also be classified as an aggregate accessory fruit, like the flesh of the strawberry, which would make the cashew pit an achene like the seeds of a strawberry.

  What is a tree?

  • queermunist@lemmy.ml ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Although “tree” is a common word, there is no universally recognised precise definition of what a tree is, either botanically or in common language.[1][2] In its broadest sense, a tree is any plant with the general form of an elongated stem, or trunk, which supports the photosynthetic leaves or branches at some distance above the ground.

    Well damn, I guess strawberries can be trees and nuts.
