Talk:True berry

Cranberries?
Cranberries are listed both here (as a true berry) and under Epigynous berry. The Cranberry article categorizes them as epigynous. Should they be here? Dropframe (talk) 21:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * ETA: Same is true for blueberries and lingonberries... Dropframe (talk) 21:48, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Vaccinum sp.?
Are not all the Vaccinium sp. Epigynous berries? Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) seems to be listed here as a true berry, but it seems to exhibit Sepal remnants (see: File:The fruits of our labour.JPG). -- J.P.Lon (talk) 11:38, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

contradiction
Near the beginning, the cranberries are mentioned as true berries: The true berries are dominated by the Ericaceae[...] : [...] Cranberry (Vaccinium spp.) While in the end they are mentioned as false berries: [...] false berries like blueberries and cranberries. ---Paul- (talk) 12:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Indeed. It also mentions Strawberry in true berries. One thing I know for sure, Strawberries are definately NOT true berries. -- J.P.Lon (talk) 17:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Errors
This article is riddled with errors that were repeated almost verbatim in Berry. Many of the errors in Berry have now been corrected (though there may be work to do yet). I propose that True Berry should be reduced to a redirect with Berry as the main article. If there is substantial opposition to this move, please say so below. Many thanks.

 * That would be an excellent idea. False berry could be similarly replaced with a redirect. Nadiatalent (talk) 20:36, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
