Description:

33 different fruits produced by common trees and shrubs. How many different fruits and seeds can you find?

* Nuts: including conkers, beech mast, acorns and hazel nuts.

* Cones: including pine cones and spruce cones.

* Flying fruits: including sycamore, maple, hornbeam, ash, birch and alder fruits.

* Fleshy fruits: including blackberries, ivy, holly, sloes, crab apples and elderberries.

Beautiful colour paintings of each fruit highlight the main features to look out for. Text on the reverse side details key identification features to check

Many plants produce seeds to help them spread. The seed contains the plant’s embryo, plus a small food reserve, inside a protective coat. Since plants cannot walk to new places, they have to disperse the seeds in other ways.

The shape of the fruit (the structure surrounding the seed) is a really good clue to seed dispersal. Some fruits are adapted to be eaten by animals, while other fruits are dispersed by wind or water.

A special extra feature of this guide is a concise guide to some of the technical words for different types of fruit, including nut, drupe, samara and pome.
