About Trey Tarrant Expertise I can answer questions about plant identification, plant care, plant pest management, landscaping, and general gardening questions. Please post a picture of the plant you wish to identify, if possible. If you say something like, "I've got this plant and it's green with long leaves and white flowers" and do not include a picture, chances are I won't be able to help you. I may not be able to help with plants that are not grown in the Southeast/ Eastern US, but you're welcome to try me.

Question Why is the fruit of a tree/plant sweet (or of any other taste) in taste?
Answer Plants have various ways to disperse their seeds. There is an evolutionary advantage to sending ones offspring away. Some plants develop seeds that are dispersed by wind or water, or on the fur of animals. Some plants develop sweet fruits so that animals will eat them and "deposit" the seeds elsewhere.
