Would an avacado be considered a fruit or nut?

Answer 1

It really depends on two things: (1) the avocado's sexual orientation, and (2) its state of mental health.

Answer 2

An avocado is a fruit. A "fruit" is defined as flesh containing the seed of the plant, in this case the nut inside. A "nut" covers the seed with a hard covering.

With some plants, the parts we eat are not the parts containing the seed of the plant. For example, the part of the carrot plant that we eat does not contain the seed of the plant. Such plants are called vegetables. That is why a tomato is a fruit. The tomato seeds are inside.

Avocado (Persea americana) is a tree and the fruit of that tree, classified in the flowering plant family, Lauraceae. It is native to Central America and Mexico. The tree grows to 20 m (65 ft), with alternately arranged, evergreen leaves, 12-25 cm long. The flowers are inconspicuous, greenish-yellow, 5-10 mm wide. The pear-shaped fruit is botanically a berry or drupe, from 7 to 20 cm long, and weighs between 100-1000 g. It has a large central seed, 3-5 cm in diameter.

An average avocado tree produces about 120 avocados annually. Commercial orchards produce an average of 7 tonnes per hectare each year, with some orchards achieving 20 tonnes per hectare (FAO statistics). Biennial bearing can be a problem, with heavy crops in one year being followed by poor yields the next. The fruit is sometimes called an avocado pear or alligator pear, from its shape and green skin. The avocado tree does not tolerate freezing temperatures, and so can be grown only in subtropical and tropical climates.
