Would it be possible to start tissue culture from the flesh of a fruit? Question

I'd like to experiment growing fruit from store bought samples. From what I've read, tissue culture is normally grown from leaf samples or stem samples. Is actual fruit alive enough to be cloned in this way of I apply the right hormone/nutrient mix?

No. This tissue is extremely highly differentiated and doesn't have much potency
