A nut may be defined as a one-seeded fruit with a hard pericarp (ripened ovary wall). One or several nuts may sit in a cup-shaped structure called an involucre. In oaks (Quercus) the involucre is composed of small scales and the entire structure (involucre plus nut) is called an acorn.n chestnuts (Castanea) and beech (Fagus) the involucre is spiny, while in filberts and hazelnuts (Corylus), the involucre is leafy or tubular, depending on the exact species. This is a simplified classification of dry fruit types that follows most general botany textbooks and plant identification manuals.
