For some reason the forums is letting me edit messages but not post messages tonight idk but here’s a quick fruit and maybe it’ll get a dedicated post later.
Fruit Info: Our fruit today is Comarostaphylis diversifolia, which as slides to above is known as the Summer Holly. This fruit is a very juicy drupe with bumpy skin. It is a close relative of the manzanitas which we have been learning about lately.
Fruit Info: While our newest fruit of the day is grown from a tree sometimes referred to as the strawberry tree, the plants are not close relative. Instead todays fruit is called that because it is supposed to resemble a strawberry in some way. I don’t see it personally. This fruit has a high content of sugar and antioxidant vitamins, so it is a great candidate for eating. That being said the raw fruit is seldom eaten by itself due to how hard it is to transport without bruising. Instead it’s mainly used in things like cakes, jams, and alcoholic beverages.
Fruit Info: Today we have the Greek Strawberry Tree who’s fruits don’t look like strawberries, and strawberries don’t grow on trees anyways. This fruit is menace to society.

It is endemic to the Canary Islands of Spain, specifically Tenerife, La Gomera, Gram canario, El Hierro, and La Palma. It is threatened by habitat loss.” - Wikipedia on today’s fruit’s plant. The fruit itself is, well decidedly unremarkable even compared to all that boring stuff.
