Previous PollsA drupe is a fruit which consists of a fleshy outer part that surrounds a hard shell, or pit, containing the seed embryo.
A peach is a drupe, as are olives, coffee, almonds, and cherries. Blackberries are made up of a cluster of drupes and coconuts are drupes even though they have a hard outer husk.

| I never heard of a drupe. I guessed Sunflower because sometimes their heads get so heavy they droop. Wrong!!! However I do have the distinction of being the first one to guess Sunflower-LOL.
Edited for poor spelling!

| We had peach trees where I grew up and they had mummies. Aren't they caused by a parasite? |

| I believe so. It has been a long time before I even thought of mummies.
Must be the Halloween is near.
Sometimes Camellias have them on them and we need to take them off, because they
Cause virus on them.
