List of Plants Valuable for the Characteristics Of Their Fruit
A.
A. PRODUCING FRUIT OF PECULIARLY INTERESTING FORM OR SIZE. This group consists of types of plants which produce fruit that has a landscape value on account of its peculiarly interesting form and size. Practically all of our trees and shrubs produce fruit, but only those having fruit which is of real landscape value are listed in this and in succeeding groups.
