Drupes

single point of structure
 

A drupe is a type of fruit whose distinguishing feature is a single point within a rounded structure. This point is found throughout different aspects of these fruits. A peach pit (the shell and seed within) has the point at one end, while the peach itself expresses its point as the seam along one side. In either case the points create a lack of the equilibrium occurring in entirely rounded fruits, uniquely propelling growth.
