Causes
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/EntwinedCarrots.jpg/170px-EntwinedCarrots.jpg)
The Causes section is illustrated with “naturally entwined carrots”, but the text doesn't even try to explain how they could get so entwined in a natural way. Since there is no source for any natural cause, I will remove that adverb. Since it's particularly unhelpful to illustrate the section about causes with an example for which the cause is unknown, but since it's a nice picture anyway, I will also move the picture to the gallery.
The same section also contains the nonsequitur “because the melons must be picked before they’re ripe they are inedible”. Can we delete that? ◄ Sebastian 06:56, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Unusually shaped vegetable → Unusually shaped fruit or vegetable – This article covers both fruit and vegetables. QueenofBithynia (talk) 14:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Support, aligns the title to the content, and no reason to keep it to just vegetables.--Cerebral726 (talk) 18:59, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Updating to support plural, per the discussion below. Also, it seems common to have a plural title in similar articles, like Unusual types of gramophone records and Unusual eBay listings--Cerebral726 (talk) 12:31, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Support adding fruit, though "or" seems wrong. "Unusually shaped fruits and vegetables" seems more natural. ╠╣uw [talk] 20:32, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- I was torn between 'or' or 'and' for the nom, so I'd support this wording. —QueenofBithynia (talk) 13:52, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Move to unusually shaped fruits and vegetables. Showiecz (talk) 03:18, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
