Bushes

Bushes are small- to medium-sized wild plants. In Dawn of Man they are an important source of short-term nutrition for early settlers (along with fruit) because their berries are easy to gather and do not require processing like grain or meat do. Bushes also do not require any special research or particular human role to begin harvesting from; the dullest caveman or frailest child alike may pick from their delicate branches with ease.

Spring blossoms of bushes are cheerful, and in Autumn their leaves turn, whilst Winter sees their naked branches barren. Only sultry Summer brings the promise of succulent drupelets within reach of hungry settlers.
