Dadila Berry

After weeks of trekking the jungle, my team and I have finally found it. The rare and delicious, dadila berry. I have made a sketch in my book and wrote a description for the queen. She will be infinitely grateful of me when she learns all of the horrors and hardships I've had to overcome to get her a simple vine so she can start a winery.

Basic Information

Anatomy

This vine is a green color with vibrant red berries. If the vine is old, it will start to create a bark-like skin at the base.

Genetics and Reproduction

The dadila berry is a hermaphrodite meaning it has both male and female reproductive organs. It is wind pollinated but can be pollinated by bees or other pollinating bugs. The seeds are spread by the berries which in the wild are eaten and defecated at a different, random location.

Growth Rate & Stages

Most plants survive 10 years before dying. The first year they don't produce any berries and they just grow as much as possible. The second year they begin to produce berries but they are very tart and not sweet. Gradually over the next two years they make better and better berries. After six years the vines begin to harden and make a bark skin.

Ecology and Habitats

The dadila berry lives in climates with no or weak winters and large amounts of rainfall. They are mostly found in tropics but can occasionally be found in temperate forests.

Dietary Needs and Habits

The vine is a plant so it doesn't eat but it needs 10 hours of sunlight and lots of water.

Biological Cycle

Because they normally live in tropics, the berry thrives year round. However, some variations of dadila berries have developed a hibernation cycle and still thrive.

Lifespan

10 years

Conservation Status

The species is not under protection by law but all farmer go to extensive measures to keep their plants safe.

Average Height

up to 12 foot

Average Length

up to 80 feet if unpruned.
