"Berry" is a technical term in botany. It means "a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary."

Some things that are commonly called berries are not, technically speaking, actually berries, and some things that aren't commonly called berries really are berries.

Some examples:

  • Avocados are berries
  • Bananas are berries
  • Grapes are berries
  • Pumpkins are berries
  • Watermelons are berries
  • Blueberries are berries
  • Cranberries are berries
  • Bayberries are drupes
  • Cherries are drupes
  • Blackberries and Raspberries are aggregate fruits
  • Mulberries are multiple fruits
  • Strawberries are accessory fruits
