Blood type diet

Hmm.. well Horticulturally speaking there are lots of fruits that are not grown
on “woody” plants besides strawberries, all
the melons for example (which are also annuals). However, I was talking
botanically (and I imagine we should be more
interested in which genus/family they belong to than how they are grown :).
Botanical class is Lycopersicum-esculentum.. They
are also members of the nightshade family. Anyway botanically tomatoes are a
fruit, more specifically a berry. They are
seed-bearing structures that develop from the ripened ovaries of flowers, they
are also seed bearing with soft flesh. Also
while non-”woody” they are grown on branched plants (unlike *most* “vegetables”)
(I’ve also seen tomatoes grown on “trees” by
the way -not sure if this is natural/grafted/genetically altered tho) :). So
Horticulturally I imagine that they should be
taken care of similiarly to other fruits but hey I’m definintely not a

horticulturalist (in fact I think I manage to kill
off most of my house plants. LOL).
I imagine that Dr. D classed it as a vegetable probably because that’s where
most people would be looking for it and he wanted
to prevent confusion. Either that or someone needs to talk to him or whoever
set up his database :) :)
Just thought I’d provide my viewpoint :)
