BERRY
A berry is a small, juicy, fleshy, stoneless fruit that contains one or many seeds. This simple fruit has a pulpy pericarp surrounding the seed. Some berries include the gooseberry, raspberry, tomato, currant, and grape.
It is generally available as either red or yellow in color and slightly smaller than a cherry or pear tomato, ranging in size from one half to almost an inch in diameter. It is closer in size to the currant tomato.
Fruits: Berries ovoid to spherical, purple-red, up to 1/6 inch long.
Notes: This species is sometimes called buckbrush or Indian currant. The slender stems are sometimes woven into baskets.
