  1. A drupe only has one seed with a hard (bony) endocarp.  Some examples would be peaches, mangos, or cherries.

    A berry is a fruit with multiple seeds and the endocarp is softer, either papery or fleshy.  Some examples here would be a tomato or a grape.

    What makes this even more confusing is that plants you'd expect to be "berries" (blackberry and raspberry) aren't technically berries by definition, but are an aggregate of drupes.
