I am having difficulty telling the varieties apart. Some have names attached to them but I’m not sure they are correct. Is there a printed paper or photos describing with more detail how to tell each one apart?

Some are juicy when ripe, like a berry.
Some are dry when ripe, like a rattle.

Dry fruit refers to those types that produce a rattle type fruit.

Juicy fruits are by far the most common.
