How do peanuts grow or form?

Question

ever since april...i totally blanked out on how peanuts grew or form..Do you know how?

Answer 1

Unlike "tree nuts," the peanut flowers above the ground but fruits below the ground. The peanut seed grows into a green oval-leafed plant about 18 inches tall, which develops delicate yellow flowers around the lower portion of the plant. The flowers pollinate themselves, then lose their petals as the fertilized ovary begins to enlarge. The budding ovary or "peg" grows down away from the plant, forming a small stem, which extends into the soil. The peanut embryo is in the tip of the peg, which penetrates the soil. The peg begins to mature, taking the form of a peanut. The plant continues to grow and flower, eventually producing 40 or more mature peanuts, with the largest peanuts forming from the tap root of the plant. From planting to harvesting, the cycle takes four to five months, depending on the variety of peanut.
