Aggregate Fruit

This is a picture of a raspberry. A raspberry is an example of an aggregate fruit. Aggregate fruits develop from a flower containing more than one separate carpel, or several ovaries. When these carpels mature, they cluster together to form a single receptacle, the aggregate fruit. In contrast, a simple fruit develops from a single carpel. Examples of aggregate fruits include raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
