Should the Carya genus have a category in the photo type for husk? All plants (as far as I can make out) in this genus have nuts which are surrounded by a husk & the nut is not revealed until the husk splits open. I'm not sure if seed pods or heads covers a husk situation. The nut would be the seed with the meat inside being the fruit. At least that's how it seems to me. But I'm certainly no expert.
Anyone?

And then I also think of Cocos nucifera or coconut palm. They have a husk surrounding the seed.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
