Power rankings of fruits by group:
1. Of the tree (peach, banana, plantain, cherry, plum, lime, nectarine, apple, orange, grapefruit, lemon, pomegranate, genip)
2. Berries (straw-, black-, rasp-, blue-)
3. Of the vine (grape, watermelon, kiwi, honeydew, cantaloupe)
4. Those which are considerably better or worse than their normal groups (mango, cucumber, avocado, cranberry, lychee, apricot, fig, pumpkin*)
5. Tropical (pineapple, coconut, passionfruit, papaya)
6. Dried (date, raisin, prune)
7. Vegetables masquerading as fruits (tomato, olive, pepper, zucchini, eggplant)
Nos. 1 and 2 posed a tough decision for which I may never forgive myself.
Nuts were not considered so as to avoid a botanical debate.
* - Advanced solely on the basis of its pies.
