-Apples and oranges are both fruits cut into slices, hence both having slicing weapons.
-There's a type of burst ammunition called a Grapeshot.
-Strawberries are shaped a little like the blade of a Kunai.
-When a Mango is traditionally cut and opened, the square shapes look like one half of a blunt mace weapon.
-Pineapple looks like the end of a spiked flail.
-Kurokage's lance is like a Pine needle. (that's my best guess.)
-The end of a Acorn can be fashioned to look like the head of a blunt hammer.
-etc...

Personally I think it's pretty clear that the majority of the weapon selections were inspired by the fruit they belong to in some way. For most of these, obviously the fruit was decided first, the choice of weapon came later to reflect the said fruit. Not the other way around.
