When we think of fruits, most of us think of apples, oranges, bananas, and other fruits that grow on trees. But some fruits DON’T grow on trees.
This juicy summer treat grows on a vine on the ground. Good thing, too, because if one of these 10 lb suckers fell on Isaac Newton’s head, he might not have lived to discover gravity!
Just writing about blueberries makes me crave a blueberry pie. Although it’s not hard to imagine them growing on trees, they actually are picked off a bush.
Gotta love Cantaloupe! These juicy and delectable treats grow from a vine on the ground. It’s easy to imagine a heavy cantaloupe snapping a twig right off a tree, so Mother Nature made a good call on this one.
