Fruits and Vegetables in a State

It's common knowledge that each of the United States has both an official flower and an official tree to represent their state. But a few have gone further and also voted a specific fruit and vegetable for the honour. Purists have reason to question the botanical acumen of some politicians. Politics, as some more disillusioned than others have observed, surely derives from poly, meaning many, and everyone knows what a tick is. Tomatoes, botanically a fruit, have been cited as the official vegetable of North Dakota and the Creole tomato as Louisiana's vegetable plant. Arkansas cannily claims that the South Arkansas Vine-Ripe Tomato is both its fruit and vegetable. Tennessee gets it right, however, by naming it as their state fruit.
