But raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries arent berries Not sure about boysenberries, tbh But probably not Youre also missing other berries like watermelons, bananas, and pumpkins Plus, many people love avocados. Which are also berries

Pumpkin is a gourd, and watermelon is a melon. My understanding of berries is soft flesh that is consumable(not banana peels) and easily torn by teeth, and many small seeds within the fruit. Avocado is in the same category as mango imo. I'll give you grapes, which would fit under "other" since there are so many types.

Boysenberries are just a raspberry/blackberry hybrid. But other than that you're fighting with two different definitions of berries, that have some overlap.From the botanical sense bananas, watermelons, and pumpkins do classify as berries. Avocados are an oddball in that berries generally are multi-seeded but it doesn't have a hardened endocarp, so it's not a proper drupe.
