Default More berries

Avocado is a one-seeded berry.

How does it differ from a drupe, like peaches and cherries?

He just explained that. In avocado the tissue arising out of the carpel that
is closest to the seed is fleshy. An avocado consists of exocarp, mesocarp
and seed.

In a drupe the seed is inside a 'stone' which means that the tissue arising
out of the carpel closest to the seed is quite hard. A drupe consists of
exocarp, mesocarp, endocarp and seed.
