Andy Rooney did a segment on fruit this week and ended by saying they had a competition in their office and the winner could name 26 fruits. I tried it and added a 5 minute time limit. I named 34:
apple
pear
pineapple
lemon
lime
orange
tangerine
nectarine
clementine
grapefruit
melon - cantaloupe, casaba, water, honeydew
peach
plum
grape
cherry
berries - blue, straw, rasp, black
mango
avocado
papaya
banana
plantain
tomato (has seeds)
kumquat
lichee
rambutan
starfruit
uglyfruit
durian
This was mostly from mentally walking the aisles of my favorite grocery.

You forgot one important berry. The dingle, of course.
Not to mention Chuck, and of course his cousin Marvin. And then of course Marion in Washington DC.

uglyfruit?
what about watermelon? (and, if science has created a seedless one, is that still a fruit?)
what about cucumber (seeds)?
uglyfruit. I guess from wikipedia: "Many foods are botanically fruit, but are treated as vegetables in cooking and food preparation. These include cucurbits (e.g., squash, pumpkin, and cucumber), tomato, peas, beans, corn, eggplant, and sweet pepper, spices, such as allspice and chillies.["
