Pup-pup home world

The Pup-pup home world is located close to the center of the Asa galaxy. It is the anchor planet of the vast Pup-pup empire and has a population of around 30 billion inhabitants making it the most populated planet in the Pup-pup empire. The planet is mostly at this point a residential and political seat of power as industry has moved to other planets in the empire. The Pup-pup home world is where most political decisions are decided which dictate policy on other worlds within the empire.
Dewberry

## **Summary**

### **Summary**

The **dewberries** are a group of species in the genus *Rubus*, section *Rubus*, closely related to the blackberries. They are small trailing (rather than upright or high-arching) brambles with aggregate fruits, reminiscent of the raspberry, but are usually purple to black instead of red. Unlike many other *Rubus* species, dewberries are dioecious, having separate male and female plants.

### **Use**

Dewberries are common throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere and are thought of as a beneficial weed. The leaves can be used to make a tisane, and the berries are edible and taste sweet. They can be eaten raw, or used to make cobbler, jam, or pie. Alternatively, they are sometimes referred to as ground berries.

## **Appearance**

The tiny green berries grow red and then a deep purple-blue as they ripen. When the berries are ripe, they are tender and difficult to pick in any quantity without squashing them.

The berries are sweet and, for many, less seedy than blackberries and worth the scratches and stains that come from picking them.
Quince

## **Summary and Appearance**

The **quince** (***Cydonia oblonga***) is the sole member of the genus ***Cydonia*** in the family **Rosaceae** (which also contains apples and pears, among other fruits). It is a deciduous tree that bears a pome fruit, similar in appearance to a pear, and bright golden-yellow when mature. Throughout history the cooked fruit has been used as food, but the tree is also grown for its attractive pale pink blossoms and other ornamental qualities.

## **Flower**

The flower of a quince has blending colours of light pink and white.

## **Production**

In 2012, Turkey was the top producer of **quinces** by producing 135,406 tonnes of them. China and Uzbekistan are the next two top producers which added up the prodction to 205,000 tonnes of quinces.
Meadowsweet

## **Summary and Origin**

**Meadowsweet** (***Filipendula ulmaria***), also commonly known as **mead wort**, is a perennial herb in the family Rosaceae that grows in damp meadows. It is native throughout most of Europe and Western Asia (Near east and Middle east). It has been introduced and naturalised in North America.

Though **meadowsweet** and **mead wort** are the most common names of ***Filipendula ulmaria***, it has also been referred to as **queen of the meadow**, **pride of the meadow**, **meadow-wort**, **meadow queen**, **lady of the meadow**, **dollof**, **meadsweet**, and **bridewort**.

## **Appearance**

### **Plant**

The stems are 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft) tall, erect and furrowed, reddish to sometimes purple. The leaves are dark-green on the upper side and whitish and downy underneath, much divided, interruptedly pinnate, having a few large serrate leaflets and small intermediate ones. Terminal leaflets are large, 4–8 cm long, and three- to five-lobed.

### **Fruit**

The fruits, at first green, are in a tight spiral like a clenched fist and are about the size of a match head.

## **Flower**

Meadowsweet has delicate, graceful, creamy-white flowers clustered close together in irregularly-branched cymes, having a very strong, sweet smell.

### **Pollination**

The flowers flower from early summer to early autumn and are visited by various types of insects, in particular *Musca* flies.
Blackthorn

## **Summary**

**Blackthorn** (***Prunus spinosa***), also known as **sloe**, is a species of flowering plant in the rose family Rosaceae. It is native to Europe, western Asia, and locally in northwest Africa. It is also locally naturalised in New Zealand, Tasmania and eastern North America.

## **Appearance**

A **blackthorn** somewhat looks like a **Blueberry**.

## **Flower**

Blackthorn flowers are white-coloured and have very big stamens and pistils which stick out of the flower petals.
Lime

## **Summary**

A **lime** (from French *lime*, from Arabic *līma*, from Persian *līmū*, "lemon") is a hybrid citrus fruit, which is typically round, lime green, 3–6 centimetres (1.2–2.4 in) in diameter, and contains acidic juice vesicles.

There are several species of citrus trees whose fruits are called limes, including the Key lime (*Citrus aurantifolia*), Persian lime, kaffir lime, and desert lime. Limes are a rich source of vitamin C, sour and are often used to accent the flavours of foods and beverages. They are grown year-round. Plants with fruit called "limes" have diverse genetic origins; limes do not form a monophyletic group.

## **Origin**

Although the precise origin is uncertain, wild limes are believed to have first grown in Indonesia or Southeast Asia, and then were transported to the Mediterranean region and north Africa around 1000 CE.

## **Appearance**

A **lime** is a small and green fruit that has pulp that make up the flesh of this fruit.

## **Production**

In 2016, global production of lemons and limes was 17.3 million tonnes, led by India with 17% of the world total production. Mexico and China were other major producers.
Mountain Cypress

## **Summary and Origin**

**Mountain cypress** (***Widdringtonia nodiflora***) is a species of *Widdringtonia* native to Southern Africa. It usually grows at high altitudes, typically among rocks on mountainsides. Its foliage and wood are highly flammable while its natural habitat is prone to fire. To compensate, the species will coppice from its roots after being burnt down.

## **Appearance**

The **mountain cypress** is an evergreen multistemmed shrub or small to rarely medium-sized tree growing to 5–7 m (rarely to 25 m) tall. The leaves are scale-like, 1.5–2 mm long and 1-1.5 mm broad on small shoots, up to 10 mm long on strong-growing shoots, and arranged in opposite decussate pairs. The cones are globose, 1–2 cm long, with four scales. Each tree produces both male and female cones. It is unique in the genus in its ability to coppice, readily re-sprouting from burnt or cut stumps; this enables it to survive wildfires, and is considered a major factor in allowing its abundance relative to the other species in the genus. Its wood is highly flammable - another adaptation for its fire-prone environment.
Common Juniper

## **Summary and Origin**

The **Common Juniper** (***Juniperus communis***) is a species of conifer in the genus *Juniperus*, in the family Cupressaceae. It has the largest geographical range of any woody plant, with a circumpolar distribution throughout the cool temperate Northern Hemisphere from the Arctic south in mountains to around 30°N latitude in North America, Europe and Asia. Relict populations can be found in the Atlas Mountains of Africa.

## **Appearance**

### **Tree**

***Juniperus communis*** is a small coniferous evergreen tree or shrub, very variable in form, ranging from 10 m (33 ft)—rarely 16 m (52 ft)—tall to a low, often prostrate spreading shrub in exposed locations. It has needle-like leaves in whorls of three; the leaves are green, with a single white stomatal band on the inner surface. It never attains adult foliage. It is dioecious, with male and female cones, which are wind pollinated, on separate plants.

### **Fruit and Cones**

The fruit are berry-like cones, initially green, ripening in 18 months to purple-black with a blue waxy coating; they are spherical, 4–12 mm (0.16–0.47 in) diameter, and usually have three (occasionally six) fleshy fused scales, each scale with a single seed. The seeds are dispersed when birds eat the cones, digesting the fleshy scales and passing the hard, unwinged seeds in their droppings. The male cones are yellow, 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long, and fall soon after shedding their pollen in March–April.
Hall Crabapple

## **Summary**

The (***Malus halliana***) is an East Asian crabapple species of *Malus.* 垂丝海棠(**Chuí sī hǎi táng**) is its chinese name.

Pomelo

## **Summary, Origin and Appearance**

The **pomelo**, ***Citrus maxima*** or ***Citrus grandis***, is a natural (non-hybrid) citrus fruit, similar in appearance to a large grapefruit, native to South and Southeast Asia. It usually looks like a giant pear too.

The pomelo is one of the original citrus species from which the rest of cultivated citrus hybridized.

## **Flower**

The flower of a pomelo is white-coloured.
Rose Hip

## **Summary**

The **rose hip**, also called **rose haw** and **rose hep**, is the accessory fruit of the rose plant. It is typically red to orange, but ranges from dark purple to black in some species. Rose hips begin to form after successful pollination of flowers in spring or early summer, and ripen in late summer through autumn.

## **Use**

### **General Use (1)**

Rose hips are used for herbal teas, jam, jelly, syrup, rose hip soup, beverages, pies, bread, wine, and marmalade. They can also be eaten raw, like a berry, if care is used to avoid the hairs inside the fruit.

### **General Use (2)**

A few rose species are sometimes grown for the ornamental value of their hips, such as *Rosa moyesii*, which has prominent large red bottle-shaped fruits.

### **Use in Culture (1)**

Rose hips are commonly used as a herbal tea, often blended with hibiscus, and an oil is also extracted from the seeds. They can also be used to make jam, jelly, marmalade, and rose hip wine. Rose hip soup, "nyponsoppa", is especially popular in Sweden. Rhodomel, a type of mead, is made with rose hips.

### **Use in Culture (2)**

Rose hips can be used to make pálinka, the traditional Hungarian fruit brandy popular in Hungary, Romania, and other countries sharing Austro-Hungarian history. Rose hips are also the central ingredient of cockta, the fruity-tasting national soft drink of Slovenia.

### **Other Uses**

The fine hairs found inside rose hips are used as itching powder. Dried rose hips are also sold for primitive crafts and home fragrance purposes. The Inupiat mix rose hips with Ribes triste and highbush cranberries and boil them into a syrup.
Cinquefoil

## **Summary and Origin**

**Cinquefoil** (***Potentilla***)is a genus containing over 300 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the rose family, **Rosaceae**. *Potentilla* are generally only found throughout the northern continents of the world (holarctic), though some may even be found in montane biomes of the New Guinea Highlands. Several other cinquefoils formerly included here are now separated in distinct genera - notably the popular garden shrub *P. fruticosa*, now *Dasiphora fruticosa*.

## **Appearance**

**Cinquefoil** (refers to flower) is yellow-coloured.

## **Fruit**

The fruit of cinquefoil is like a small strawberry with red seeds.
Common Yew

## **Summary and Origin**

The **common yew** (***Taxus baccata***) is a conifer native to western, central and southern Europe, northwest Africa, northern Iran and southwest Asia. It is the tree originally known as **yew**, though with other related trees becoming known, it may now also be known as **English yew**, or **European yew**.

## **Appearance**

The **Common Yew tree** is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree, growing 10–20 metres (33–66 ft) (exceptionally up to 28 metres (92 ft)) tall, with a trunk up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) (exceptionally 4 metres (13 ft)) in diameter. The bark is thin, scaly brown, coming off in small flakes aligned with the stem. The leaves are flat, dark green, 1–4 centimetres (0.39–1.57 in) long and 2–3 millimetres (0.079–0.118 in) broad, arranged spirally on the stem, but with the leaf bases twisted to align the leaves in two flat rows either side of the stem, except on erect leading shoots where the spiral arrangement is more obvious.

## **Fruit**

The berry of a common yew is red in colour which a hole in it.

## **Toxicity**

### **WARNING!**

Very sadly, all parts of a yew plant are toxic to humans, due to taxine alkaloids, with the exception of the yew berries (however, their seeds are toxic). Additionally, male and monoecious yews in this genus release cytotoxic pollen, which can cause headaches, lethargy, aching joints, itching, and skin rashes; it is also a trigger for asthma. These pollen grains are only 15 microns in size, and can easily pass through most window screens.
Aruncus dioicus

## **Summary, Origin and Flower**

***Aruncus dioicus*** (Walt.) (known as **goat's beard**, **buck's-beard** or **bride's feathers**) is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant in the family Rosaceae, and is the type species of the genus *Aruncus*. It has alternate, pinnately compound leaves, on thin, stiff stems, with plumes of feathery white or cream flowers borne in summer. This plant can be found in moist woodland, often at higher altitudes, throughout temperate areas of Europe, Asia, and eastern and western North America.

## **Use**

In Italy the young shoots are eaten, usually boiled briefly in herb infused water, and then cooked with eggs and cheese. In Friuli it is one of the ingredients in the local home-made soup based on wild greens called 'pistic'.
Japanese Flowering Crabapple

## **Summary and Origin**

The **Japanese Flowering Crabapple** (***Malus floribunda***), also known as the **Japanese crab**, **purple chokeberry**, or **showy crabapple**, originates from Japan and East Asia. It may be a wild species, or a hybrid of *M. sieboldii* x *M. baccata.*

## **Appearance**

The **Japanese Flowering Crabapple** is red and yellow, of about 1 cm in diameter.

## **Flower**

The flowers are white or pale pink, opening from crimson buds.
Niedzwetzky's Apple

```
***More info will be added into this article soon.***

```

## **Summary**

**Niedzwetzky's Apple** (***Malus niedzwetzkana***) is a type of apple known for its red flesh. Some botanists consider it as a distinct species while others say it is just an unusual variety of the domesticated Apple (*Malus pumila*).

## **Origin**

The plant species is native to certain parts of China, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. It is rare and often growns as an isolated tree.

## **Appearance**

The fruit's skin is redish to redish-purple. The flesh is edible, not very tart but dry but somewhat chewy.

## **Flower**

The plant produces magenta-rose coloured flowers.
Carolina Reaper

The **Carolina Reaper** is a cultivar of the *Capsicum chinense* plant. Developed by American breeder Ed Currie, the pepper is red and gnarled, with a bumpy texture and small pointed tail. In 2017, *Guinness World Records* declared it the hottest chili pepper in the world.

## Pungency

The crossbreed is between a "really nastily hot" La Soufriere pepper from Saint Vincent and a Naga pepper from Pakistan, and was named "Reaper" due to the shape of its tail. It has been described as having a fruity taste, with the initial bite being sweet and then immediately turning to "molten lava". The sensory heat or pungency detected when eating a Carolina Reaper derives from the density of capsaicinoids, particularly capsaicin, which relates directly to the intensity of chili pepper heat and Scoville Heat Units (SHU).

The pepper was bred in a greenhouse in Rock Hill, South Carolina, by Ed Currie, proprietor of the Puckerbutt Pepper Company in Fort Mill. It was certified as the world's hottest chili pepper by *Guinness World Records* on August 11, 2017, surpassing the previous record set by the Trinidad Scorpion "Butch T". The official *Guinness World Record* heat level was 1,641,183 SHU in 2017, according to tests conducted by Winthrop University in South Carolina. The figure is an average for the tested batch; the hottest individual pepper was measured at 2.2 million SHU.

In May 2017, breeder Mike Smith of St Asaph, Wales, claimed to have surpassed the Carolina Reaper with his Dragon's Breath pepper, developed by Smith alongside Nottingham Trent University and reported to be 2.4 million SHUs; Smith applied to *Guinness World Records* for confirmation. Four months later, however, Currie claimed to have bred a stronger pepper known as Pepper X with 3.18 million SHUs.

## Cultivation

For growing, the pepper has been described as "a good all-rounder to try at home" by English ethnobotanist James Wong, who said that they require temperatures of at least 18 °C (64 °F) and suggested growing in 30–40 cm (12–16 in) pots to restrict growth and produce fruit sooner. When fully ripe, two peppers occupy the palm of the hand.
Plum

## **Summary**

A **plum** is a fruit of the subgenus *Prunus* of the *genus* Prunus*.* The subgenus is distinguished from other subgenera (peaches, cherries, bird cherries, etc.) in the shoots having terminal bud and solitary side buds (not clustered), the flowers in groups of one to five together on short stems, and the fruit having a groove running down one side and a smooth stone (or *pit*).

## **Origin**

Plums may have been one of the first fruits domesticated by humans. Three of the most abundant cultivars are not found in the wild, only around human settlements: *Prunus domestica* has been traced to East European and Caucasian mountains, while *Prunus salicina* and *Prunus simonii* originated in Asia. Plum remains have been found in Neolithic age archaeological sites along with olives, grapes and figs.

## **Appearance**

Mature plum fruit may have a dusty-white waxy coating that gives them a glaucous appearance. This is an epicuticular[1]wax coating and is known as "wax bloom". Dried plum fruits are called "dried plums" or prunes, although, in many countries, prunes are a distinct type of dried plum having a wrinkled appearance.

## **Flower**

The flower of a **plum** is either dark pink, light pink or white.

## **Production**

In 2016, global production of plums and sloes was 12.1 million tonnes, led by China with 55% of the world total (table). Other major producers were Romania, Serbia and the United States (table).
Actinidia rudis

**Please do not edit this article as it is considered *closed*. This is because of the lack of information that can be added in, therefore, there is nothing to edit here.**
You are looking at a **closed** article. Only edit it if new information emerges or if something really needs to be changed.

***Actinidia rudis*** is a species of plant in the Actinidiaceae family and it is endemic to China. It is now vulnerable to extinction.
Jutubo

J**utubo** (Engels: *Youtube*) is 'n webwerf wat gebruikers in staat stel om video's op te laai, koers, kommentaar, deel, en na ander opgelaaide video's te kyk. Die webwerf films, musiek videos, sleepwaens, nuus, opvoedkundige programme, sowel as video blogs, skyfievertonings, humoristiese video's, en nog baie meer af te laai. Jutubo is tans die grootste video webwerf op die Internet.

Jutubo is in Februarie 2005 opgerig deur drie voormalige Pagamiko medewerkers. 'n Groot verskil met ander video webwerwe in die tyd was dat alle video's outomaties omgeskakel word na 1 formaat wat vir baie mense toeganklik is, Flash video (.flv). Dit gekombineerd dat die hele webwerf gratis vir gebruik is, het daarvoor gesorg dat YouTube nou die grootste videowebwerf op die internet geword het, en één van die grootste webwerwe op die internet in sy geheel.

Die meerderheid van die video's op Jutubo word deur indiwiduë uit die publiek uit opgelaai, alhoewel sommige mediamaatskappye soos CBS, BBC, VEVO, Hulu en andere ook van hulle eie materiaal beskikbaar stel. Ongeregistreerde Jutubo gebruikers kan gratis na video's kyk, terwyl geregistreerde gebruikers video's kan oplaai. Sommige video's wat as moontlik beledigend of aanstootlik beskou word, kan slegs deur geregistreerde gebruikers van ouer as 18 jaar gekyk word. In November 2006 is Jutubo deur Guglo oorgeneem, teen 'n bedrag van 1.65 miljard Amerikaanse dolaro. Jutubo is dus tans as 'n onderafdeling van Guglo.

Flowering Quince

## **Summary and Origin**

**Flowering Quince** (Chaenomeles) belongs to a genus of three species of deciduous spiny shrubs, usually 1–3 m tall, in the family Rosaceae. They are native to Japan, Korea, China, Bhutan, and Burma. These plants are related to the quince (*Cydonia oblonga*) and the Chinese quince (*Pseudocydonia sinensis*), differing in the serrated leaves that lack fuzz, and in the flowers, borne in clusters, having deciduous sepals and styles that are connate at the base.

## **Appearance**

The fruit is a pome with five carpels; it ripens in late autumn.

## **Flower**

The flowers are 3–4.5 cm diameter, with five petals, and are usually bright orange-red, but can be white or pink; flowering is in late winter or early spring. The fruit is a pome with five carpels; it ripens in late autumn.
Hawthorn

## **Summary and Origin**

**Hawthorn** (***Crataegus***) commonly called **thornapple**, **May-tree**, **whitethorn**, or **hawberry**, is a large genus of shrubs and trees in the family Rosaceae, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia and North America. The name "hawthorn" was originally applied to the species native to northern Europe, especially the common hawthorn *C. monogyna*, and the unmodified name is often so used in Britain and Ireland. The name is now also applied to the entire genus and to the related Asian genus *Rhaphiolepis*. The name **haw**, originally an Old English term for hedge, applies to the fruit.

## **Appearance**

**Hawthorns** look like **Firethorns** and **Cotoneasters**.

European Silver Fir

## **Summary and Origin**

The **European Silver Fir**  (***Abies alba***), also known as the **silver fir**, is a fir native to the mountains of Europe, from the Pyrenees north to Normandy, east to the Alps and the Carpathians, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, and south to Italy, Bulgaria, Albania and northern Greece.

### **Name**

*Abies* is derived from Latin, meaning ‘rising one’. The name was used to refer to tall trees or ships.

*Alba* means ‘bright’ or ‘dead white’.

## **Apperance**

### **Tree**

The **European Silver Fir** is a large evergreen coniferous tree growing to 40–50 m (130–160 ft) (exceptionally 60 m (200 ft)) tall and with a trunk diameter up to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in). The largest measured tree was 60 m tall and had a trunk diameter of 3.8 m (12 ft). It occurs at altitudes of 300–1,700 m (980–5,580 ft) (mainly over 500 m (1,600 ft)), on mountains with rainfall over 1,000 millimetres (39 in) per year.

### **Leaves**

The leaves of this fir species are needle-like, flattened, 1.8–3.0 cm (0.71–1.18 in) long and 2.0 mm (0.079 in) wide by 0.5 mm (0.020 in) thick, glossy dark green above, and with two greenish-white bands of stomata below. The tip of the leaf is usually slightly notched at the tip. The cones (the non-flowering plant version of flowers) are 9–17 cm (3.5–6.7 in) long and 3–4 cm (1.2–1.6 in) broad, with about 150-200 scales, each scale with an exserted bract and two winged seeds; they disintegrate when mature to release the seeds. The wood of the tree is white, leading to the species name *alba*.
Durian

```
***This is the Fruits' Information Wiki's 75th article! Thank you for your support!***

```

## **Summary**

The **durian** is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus ***Durio***. There are 30 recognised *Durio* species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit, with over 100 named varieties in Indonesia, 300 in Thailand and 100 in Malaysia. ***Durio zibethinus*** is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions.

## **Origin**

Origin of the durian is thought to be in the region of Borneo and Sumatra, grows wild in the Malay peninsula, and was commonly cultivated in a wide region from India to New Guinea. Four hundred years ago, it was traded across present-day Myanmar, and was actively cultivated especially in Thailand and South Vietnam.

## **Characteristics**

Regarded by many people in Southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, strong odour, and formidable thorn-covered rind. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species.

## **Flower**

The flower of a durian is milky-white-coloured. Durian flowers are usually closed during daytime and start to bloom only around late afternoon. They are are most fully bloomed after about 1 or 2 hours after dusk (about 8 pm or so).
Bilberry

## **Summary and Appearance**

**Bilberries** are any of several primarily Eurasian species of low-growing shrubs in the genus *Vaccinium* (family Ericaceae), bearing edible, nearly black berries. The species most often referred to is *Vaccinium myrtillus* L., but there are several other closely related species.

## **Origin**

The name *bilberry* appears to have a Scandinavian origin, possibly from as early as 1577, being similar to the Danish word *bølle* for whortleberry with the addition of "berry". The bilberry (especially *Vaccinium myrtillus*) is also known by a number of other English names including *blaeberry* in Scotland, *whortleberry* in southern England, and *w(h)imberry* or *w(h)inberry* in south Wales and along the Anglo-Welsh border amongst other places.

## **Flower**

A bilberry flower can be red, white or a blending mix of of white and pink.

Lemon

## **Summary**

The **lemon**, *Citrus limon* (L.) Osbeck, is a species of small evergreen tree in the flowering plant family Rutaceae.

The tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, which has both culinary and cleaning uses. The pulp and rind (zest) are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, with a pH of around 2.2, giving it a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade and lemon meringue pie.

## **Origin**

### Origin

The origin of the **lemon** is unknown, though lemons are thought to have first grown in Assam (a region in northeast India), northern Burma or China. A genomic study of the lemon indicated it was a hybrid between bitter orange (sour orange) and citron.

The lemon is native to South Asia, primarily North eastern India.

### **Introduction**

Lemons entered Europe near southern Italy no later than the second century AD, during the time of Ancient Rome. However, they were not widely cultivated. They were later introduced to Persia and then to Iraq and Egypt around 700 AD. The lemon was first recorded in literature in a 10th-century Arabic treatise on farming, and was also used as an ornamental plant in early Islamic gardens. It was distributed widely throughout the Arab world and the Mediterranean region between 1000 and 1150.

The first substantial cultivation of lemons in Europe began in Genoa in the middle of the 15th century. The lemon was later introduced to the Americas in 1493 when Christopher Columbus brought lemon seeds to Hispaniola on his voyages. Spanish conquest throughout the New World helped spread lemon seeds. It was mainly used as an ornamental plant and for medicine. In the 19th century, lemons were increasingly planted in Florida and California.

### **Name**

The origin of the word "lemon" may be Middle Eastern. The word draws from the Old French *limon*, then Italian *limone*, from the Arabic *laymūn* or *līmūn*, and from the Persian *līmūn*, a generic term for citrus fruit, which is a cognate of Sanskrit (*nimbū*, “lime”).

## **Appearance**

The **lemon**'s skin as well as its pulp is yellow in colour. It also has tiny 'dents' on its outer skin (like oranges) which look like spots from far due to the shadow of the skin comparing to the difference of light.

## **Flower**

The flower of a **lemon** is white-coloured.

## **Production**

In 2014, world production of lemons and limes was 16.3 million tonnes. The top producers were India, Mexico, China, Argentina, and Brazil, collectively accounting for 59% of the total world production.
Rue

## **Summary and Origin**

**Rue** (***Ruta graveolens***), also commonly known as **common rue** or **herb-of-grace**, is a species of *Ruta* grown as an ornamental plantand herb. It is native to the Balkan Peninsula. It is now grown throughout the world in gardens, especially for its bluish leaves, and sometimes for its tolerance of hot and dry soil conditions. It is also cultivated as a medicinal herb, as a condiment, and to a lesser extent as an insect repellent.

## **Appearance**

**Rue fruit** are very tiny and are like tiny green berry-like chunks clumped together.
Apple

**This is a quality article!**
You are looking at one detailed and comprehensive article. Only edit it if new information emerges or if something really needs to be changed.

## **Summary**

An **apple** is a sweet, edible fruit produced by an apple tree (***Malus pumila***) Apples grow worldwide but was originated in Central Asia. The apple trees that are large are usually grown by seeds. Its wild ancestor, ***Malus sieversii***, is still found today.

## **Origin**

Apples have been growing in Asia and Europe for thousands of years and were brought to North America by European Colonists. Apples have been involved in terms of religion or mythology in many cultures, including Norse, Greek and European Christian traditions.

## **Appearance**

The **apple** usually has a medium red color. It is glossy and reflective. They have sand-colored flesh when you cut open one. The *core* of an apple is hard and contains multiple seeds that are black in color.

## **Flower**

### **Appearance**

The apple flower (shown below) has a range of white to a slight pink that usually blends with the white color. Bees are the most common animals that pollinate this flower.

### **Pollination**

Apples are self-incompatible; they must cross-pollinate to develop fruit. During the flowering each season, apple growers often utilize pollinators to carry pollen. Honey bees are most commonly used. Orchard mason bees are also used as supplemental pollinators in commercial orchards. Bumblebee queens are sometimes present in orchards, but not usually in enough quantity to be significant pollinators.

## **Production**

The production of apples globally in 2014 was 84.6 million tonnes. China has contributed greatly by producing 48% of that total amount of apples produced.[1]

Apricot

## **Summary**

An **apricot** is a fruit, or the tree that bears the fruit, of several species in the genus *Prunus* (stone fruits).

Usually, an apricot tree is from the species *P. armeniaca*, but the species *P. brigantina*, *P. mandshurica*, *P. mume*, and *P. sibirica* are closely related, have similar fruit, and are also called apricots.

## **Origin**

The origin of the apricot is disputed and unsettled. It was known in Armenia during ancient times, and has been cultivated there for so long that it is often thought to have originated there. Its scientific name *Prunus armeniaca* (Armenian plum) derives from that assumption. For example, the Belgian arborist baron de Poerderlé, writing in the 1770s, asserted, "*Cet arbre tire son nom de l'Arménie, province d'Asie, d'où il est originaire et d'où il fut porté en Europe ...*" ("this tree takes its name from Armenia, province of Asia, where it is native, and whence it was brought to Europe ..."). An archaeological excavation at Garni in Armenia found apricot seeds in an Eneolithic-era site. Despite the great number of varieties of apricots that are grown in Armenia today (about 50), according to the Soviet botanist Nikolai Vavilov, its center of origin would be the Chinese region, where the domestication of the apricot would have taken place. Other sources say that the apricot was first cultivated in India in about 3000 BC.

## **Appearance**

The **apricot** has a matte surface (means it does not reflect light and therefore it is not glossy or shiny) and has the colour of an orange.

## **Flower**

The flower of an apricot is usually white or yellow.

## **Production**

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, world production of apricots in 2014 was 3.4 million tonnes, led by Uzbekistan with 16% (unofficial data) of the world total production. Other top producers were Turkey, Iran, and Italy.

Serviceberry

## **Summary and Common Names**

**Serviceberry** (***Amelanchier***), also known as **shadbush**, **shadwood** or **shadblow** or **sarvisberry**, or just **sarvis**, **juneberry**, **saskatoon**, **sugarplum** or **wild-plum**, and **chuckley pear** is a genus of about 20 species of deciduous-leaved shrubs and small trees in the Rose family (Rosaceae).

## **Origin**

**Serviceberries** are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, growing primarily in early successional habitats. It is most diverse taxonomically in North America, especially in the northeastern United States and adjacent southeastern Canada, and at least one species is native to every U.S. state except Hawaii and to every Canadian province and territory. Two species also occur in Asia, and one in Europe. The taxonomic classification of shadbushes has long perplexed botanists, horticulturalists, and others, as suggested by the range in number of species recognized in the genus, from 6 to 33, in two recent publications. A major source of complexity comes from the occurrence of hybridization, polyploidy, and apomixis (asexual seed production), making species difficult to characterize and identify.

## **Appearance**

**Serviceberries** are either purple, magenta or pink in colour. They have the size of **cotoneasters**, **crabapples**, **firethorns**, **hawthorns** and **mountain ashes**.

## **Flower**

Serviceberry flowers are white-coloured. They are about four times bigger than their fruit.

## **What Exactly Are Fruits?**

**Fruits** are nutritious consumables produced by flowering plants. Usually, either the ovaries or the thamalus of a flower are the parts which turn into a fruit after fertilisation has taken place. Fruits have lots of nutrients to keep you healthy. However, some fruits are heaty such as durians and mangoes; thus, we must drink more water to reduce the heatiness. Still, fruits that are heaty are still nutritious so have some of them! We also have new articles about each fruit's nutrition value! Be sure to check them out! Fruits are special in everyway, so treasure them and enjoy. Remember to consume everything (even fruits) in moderation!

Hardy Kiwi

## **Summary**

**Hardy kiwi** (*Actinidia arguta*) is also often referred to as kiwi berry, arctic kiwi, baby kiwi, dessert kiwi, grape kiwi, northern kiwi, or cocktail kiwi, and are edible, berry- or grape-sized fruit similar to kiwifruit in taste and appearance. Often sweeter than the kiwi, hardy kiwi can be eaten whole and do not need to be peeled. Thin-walled, its exterior is smooth and leathery.

## **Appearance**

Hardy Kiwi are green, brownish, or purple with smooth skin, sometimes with a red blush.

## **Pollination**

For vines to bear fruit, both male and female plants must be present to enable pollination. A male pollinator can enable six female producers to fruit. Flowering typically occurs in late spring (May in the Northern Hemisphere) starting in the third year of growth. If flowers become frost-burned, however, no fruit production will occur during the remainder of the year.
Mountain Ash

## **Summary and Origin**

The **mountain-ashes** or **rowans** (***sorbus***) are shrubs or trees of the rose family, **Rosaceae**. They are native throughout the cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with the highest species diversity in the mountains of western China and the Himalaya, where numerous apomictic microspecies occur.

Formerly, when a wider variety of fruits were commonly eaten in Europe and North America, *Sorbus* was a domestically used fruit throughout these regions. It is still used in some countries, but *Sorbus domestica*, for example, is now all but extinct in Britain, where it was traditionally revered. Natural hybrids, often including *Sorbus aucuparia* and the whitebeam, *Sorbus aria*, give rise to many endemic variants in the UK.

## **Appearance**

**Moutain-ashes** are usually orange or white in colour. They have a size of **cotoneasters**, **crabapples**, **firethorns** and **hawthorns**.

## **Flower**

Mountain-ash flowers are white-coloured and are about the size of their fruit.
Burnet

## **Summary and Origin**

**Burnet** (***Sanguisorba minor***), also known as the **salad burnet**, **garden burnet** or **small burnet** is a plant in the family Rosaceae that is native to western, central and southern Europe; northwest Africa and southwest Western Asia; and which has naturalized in most of North America. It is a perennial herbaceous plant growing to 40–90 cm tall, typically found in dry grassy meadows, often on limestone soils. It is drought-tolerant, and grows all year around.

## **Uses**

**Burnet** is used as an ingredient in both salads and dressings, having a flavor described as "light cucumber" and is considered interchangeable with mint leaves in some recipes, depending on the intended effect. Typically, the youngest leaves are used, as they tend to become bitter as they age.

Salad burnet has the same medicinal qualities as medicinal burnet (*Sanguisorba officinalis*). It was used as a tea to relieve diarrhea in the past.

## **History**

The plant species also has a respectable history, called a favorite herb by Francis Bacon, and was brought to the New World with the first English colonists, even getting special mention by Thomas Jefferson.

## **Flower**

Burnet flowers are usually redish-magenta or pink-coloured.
Arctic Kiwi

## **Summary**

**Arctic Kiwi**, (***Actinidia kolomikta)*** also commonly known as **variegated-leaf hardy kiwi**, is a species of flowering plant in the family Actinidiaceae, native to temperate mixed forests of the Russian Far East, Korea, Japan and China (Eastern Asiatic Region).

The plant is a very long-lived, deciduous woody scrambling vine and creeper, which ultimately grows to 8–10 m (26–33 ft). It is the hardiest species in the genus *Actinidia*, at least down to about −40 °C (−40 °F) in winter, although somewhat susceptible to late spring frosts.

## **Origin**

*Actinidia kolomikta* is an ornamental plant for gardens and a houseplant. The plant was collected by Charles Maries in Sapporo, on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, in 1878, and sent to his patrons, Veitch Nurseries, who introduced it into Western horticulture.

## **Appearance**

**Arctic Kiwis** look somewhat similar to a **Hardy Kiwi** so they are green too.
