    that picture is funky because it gives the impression there’s like 20 stages…there’s only 5 stages for the plant, with 2 of them being directly related to the berry. (yes I’m aware that the plant growth is related to berry growth…)

    flowering, and fruiting. the rest is plant growth.

      Academic mindset. I am sure there is a good rationale behind the 5 stages. But please remember nature is not discrete, the qualia overlap. We could recognize any number of stages.
