Goodberry Bush
A magical plant species created by Corbin Vidiri, inspired by the spell of the same name. The goodberry bush grows goodberries, each berry providing a days nourishment for a medium sized creature and minor healing. A mature goodberry bush has about 20 berries on it, and replenishes berries at a rate of 2~3 per day on it’s own without requiring maintenance. The bush grows to a radius of 5’ making it unwieldy as an indoor plant, but it will grow inside greenhouses. Under the care of an expert gardener the yield increases such that a single goodberry bush can feed up to 10 people per day, and stores up to 50 berries making the plant a valuable emergency food source.
Under normal conditions it takes a goodberry bush 8 months to grow to maturity, and 16 months for it to reach its maximum yield. As such it is wise for cities to plant the bushes as soon as economically feasible. As the goodberry bush is not a naturally occurring species, each plant requires magical reagents worth about 50gp to sow.
