'''Plum trees''' are one of the many genera of [[tree]]s found above ground. Like the vast majority of above ground trees, plum [[wood]] is brown and produces brown products. Logs can be processed in a [[dyer's shop]] into [[dye]]. Plums can be gathered in a gathering [[zone]], and they can be brewed into [[Alcohol|plum wine]], eaten raw, or cooked.

Some [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] plum trees for their ''fruit''.

'''Persimmon''' is one of the many genera of [[tree]]s found above ground. Like the vast majority of above ground trees, persimmon [[wood]] is brown and produces brown products.

It may be worthwhile to preserve a population of persimmon trees, as they yield impossibly delicious persimmon [[fruit]]. These fruits can be brewed into delightful [[booze]], cooked in a [[kitchen]] or eaten raw. Also they can be processed in a [[dyer's shop]] into [[dye]].

'''Cherry''' is one of the many genera of [[tree]]s found above ground. Like the vast majority of aboveground trees, cherry [[wood]] is brown and produces brown products.

They of course produce cherries, which may be eaten raw, cooked, or brewed into [[alcohol|cherry wine]]. In the Summer season, cherry trees are unique in that they produce white clouds of cherry blossoms around themselves as they shed their flowers, which can easily be mistaken for [[mist]], syndrome-causing clouds, or a cave-in. In autumn, the trees drop their fruit en masse.

Logs and leaves can be processed in a [[dyer's shop]] into [[dye]].

{{D for Dwarf}}


An apple once fell on the head of a [[scholar]], smashing his head into his body, an unrecognizable mass. Thus, the field of [[physics|dwarven physics]] was born.


Apples were invented by two [[human]]s named Steve. A well-documented but little understood phenomenon among humans is that a [[preference]] for [[window]]s strongly correlates with an intense dislike for apples, and vice versa. Curiously, humans who like [[penguin]]s tend to have a profound distaste for both.

Almond trees bear delicious crunchy almonds that can be harvested by setting up a gathering [[zone]] underneath it. Almonds cannot be brewed into [[alcohol]]. Therefore, you're better off <s>exterminating each and every one of these ugly, useless potential [[elf]] retreats</s> cutting the tree or cooking the almonds into +Almond Biscuits+.

Sadly, almonds in ''Dwarf Fortress'' are all of the sweet variety, and of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amygdalin little use] for giving nobles or elves a [[unfortunate accident|meal to die for]].

Dye

'''Dye''' can be used at the [[dyer's shop]] to change the [[Color#Color_tokens|color]] of clothing materials.

==Production==
Dyes can be produced by milling a number of [[crop|plants]] at a [[millstone]] or [[quern]], as well as from other sources at a [[dyer's shop]]. Usually, all [[trading|caravans]] will bring dye for [[trade]] too. Importing dye, however, is only useful if you have a somewhat-skilled [[dyer]], otherwise, little value is added and the work wasted. It is better to buy or grow the 'source' plants if available, and mill them yourself. Of course, the nice colors are a value in themselves, if you don't stuff it all in bins.

Dyes can be applied either to woven [[cloth]], raw [[thread]], or [[leather]]{{v|52.03}}. Dyed items have their [[value]] increased by the value of the dye (see table above), multiplied by the [[quality]] with which the dye was applied. There is not known to be any difference in the end product based on when the dye was applied during the production process. Dyes can't be applied to finished goods made from cloth, such as clothing, bags, or crafts.

Dyes can be mixed to create additional colors. The desired color can be chosen at the [[dyer's shop]] with the "dye cloth ([[color]])" job, blending dyes with each other, or the material's natural color, to produce the chosen color.

==Storage==
On the [[stocks]] screen, dyes are listed under [[powder]]. Dyes are [[stockpile]]d as "Food/Milled Plants", along with [[flour]]s. [[Barrel]]s that contain only powders are called 'Mill barrel'. Each barrel can contain up to 60 dye [[Bag|bags]], each bag containing one stack of dye items.

==Work Order Conditions==
Bag contents are not recognized in the [[Manager#Work orders|manager's work order conditions]].
As such, item type (powder) and material (e.g. 'Dimple dye', 'Redroot dye', 'potato skin dye', etc) will not work (despite being the recommended condition on create dye jobs).
As a workaround, reference all items/materials and use adjectives.

Examples:
* Count all stacks of dye: Item type 'items', material type 'no material', adjective 'dye item'
* Count all stacks of midnight blue (dimple cup) dye: Item type 'itemsi, material type 'no material', adjective 'dye item', adjective 'Color midnight blue'

==Trivia==
A number of plants have comments in their [[raw file]]s suggesting they should produce dye, dating from before more dyes were added in [[Release information/52.03|52.03]]. [[Wild carrot]] and [[rhubarb]] produce dyes from different parts than their comment suggests: flowers and roots in the respective comments. [[Pendant amaranth]] flowers are noted to produce dye, but do not have any in-game dye materials.

Sliver barbs are only found in [[Surroundings#Evil|evil]] areas, therefore, [[elf|elves]], [[dwarf|dwarves]], and [[human]]s won't bring sliver barbs to trade. To obtain it, you must embark in an evil area and pull it from the ground yourself.

[[Hide root|Redroot dye]] is the only dye priced at 10[[Currency|☼]].

{{D for Dwarf}}

In some dwarven civilizations, a common battle cry is ‘ESHON ALOD ATÍR!’, which [[Dwarven language|translates]] as ‘TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DYE!’ Dwarven historians have been unable to determine why this should be.

'''Olive''' is one of the many genera of [[tree]]s found above ground. Like the vast majority of above ground trees, olive [[wood]] is brown and produces brown products. Logs and leaves can be processed in a [[dyer's shop]] into [[dye]].

Olive trees possess the third densest wood and the densest wood that isn't restricted to evil biomes or the deep caverns. This density makes olive wood a less optimal choice as a material for [[bin]]s and other goods that need to be hauled regularly. Elves armed with olive wood [[arrow]]s and [[weapon]]s are slightly more dangerous to civilian dwarves than those made from other types of wood.

Olive fruit can be eaten raw, or can be pressed into olive [[oil]] and a unit of [[press cake|olive pomace]] at a [[screw press]]. Olives can be harvested by setting up a gathering [[zone]].

Olive oil is much easier to produce than [[seed]] oils, as not only do olives not need to be [[milling|milled]] first, but a stack of them can also be [[pressing|pressed]] in a single job, occupying only one [[jug]]. On the other hand, compared to seeds, there's less [[value]] increase, and your supply of olives is limited to whatever you can [[herbalist|gather]] or [[trading|import]], whereas seeds are an often plentiful byproduct of [[farming]], which is infinitely scalable.

Some [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] olive trees for their ''oil-giving fruit''.

Sadly, dwarven cuisine can not produce a guacamole with all of its ingredients. As avocado roasts may only include three ingredients other than avocado, dwarven cooks have heated discussions regarding which these should be. Traditionalist cooks maintain that minced [[lime]] and minced [[pepper]]s are of utmost importance, while others argue that minced [[tomato|tomatoes]], [[onion]] and [[garlic]] are all valid substitutes. Nonetheless, all variants are perfect for dipping [[maize]] biscuits.

Banana peels are especially dangerous to [[wagon]]s, and are sometimes seen trailing behind them.


Some say that a banana [[wrestling|firmly lodged]] in a dwarf's ear can significantly reduce [[stress]]. So far the tests to prove the claim are inconclusive, as the subjects tend to bleed out before an effect can be observed.

[[File:dye_bag_preview.png|right|Bag of Dimple Cup dye powder.]]
'''Dye''' can be used at the [[dyer's shop]] to change the [[Color#Color_tokens|color]] of clothing materials.

==Production==
Dyes can be produced by milling a number of [[crop|plants]] at a [[millstone]] or [[quern]], as well as from other sources at a [[dyer's shop]]. Usually, all [[trading|caravans]] will bring dye for [[trade]] too. Importing dye, however, is only useful if you have a somewhat-skilled [[dyer]], otherwise, little value is added and the work wasted. It is better to buy or grow the 'source' plants if available, and mill them yourself. Of course, the nice colors are a value in themselves, if you don't stuff it all in bins.

Dyes can be applied either to woven [[cloth]], raw [[thread]], or [[leather]]{{v|52.03}}. Dyed items have their [[value]] increased by the value of the dye (see table above), multiplied by the [[quality]] with which the dye was applied. There is not known to be any difference in the end product based on when the dye was applied during the production process. Dyes can't be applied to finished goods made from cloth, such as clothing, bags, or crafts.

Dyes can be mixed to create additional colors. The desired color can be chosen at the [[dyer's shop]] with the "dye cloth ([[color]])" job, blending dyes with each other, or the material's natural color, to produce the chosen color.

==Storage==
On the [[stocks]] screen, dyes are listed under [[powder]]. Dyes are [[stockpile]]d as "Food/Milled Plants", along with [[flour]]s. [[Barrel]]s that contain only powders are called 'Mill barrel'. Each barrel can contain up to 60 dye [[Bag|bags]], each bag containing one stack of dye items.

==Work Order Conditions==
Bag contents are not recognized in the [[Manager#Work orders|manager's work order conditions]].
As such, item type (powder) and material (e.g. 'Dimple dye', 'Redroot dye', 'potato skin dye', etc) will not work (despite being the recommended condition on create dye jobs).
As a workaround, reference all items/materials and use adjectives.

Examples:
* Count all stacks of dye: Item type 'items', material type 'no material', adjective 'dye item'
* Count all stacks of midnight blue (dimple cup) dye: Item type 'itemsi, material type 'no material', adjective 'dye item', adjective 'Color midnight blue'

==Trivia==
A number of plants have comments in their [[raw file]]s suggesting they should produce dye, dating from before more dyes were added in [[Release information/52.03|52.03]]. [[Wild carrot]] and [[rhubarb]] produce dyes from different parts than their comment suggests: flowers and roots in the respective comments. [[Pendant amaranth]] flowers are noted to produce dye, but do not have any in-game dye materials.

Sliver barbs are only found in [[Surroundings#Evil|evil]] areas, therefore, [[elf|elves]], [[dwarf|dwarves]], and [[human]]s won't bring sliver barbs to trade. To obtain it, you must embark in an evil area and pull it from the ground yourself.

'''Birch''' is a [[tree]] found in temperate broadleaf forests. They are the second [[Highwood|tallest tree]] in the game. In classic display mode, birch trees have the special quality of being the only normal tree in the game with a trunk color other than brown – specifically, white. Unfortunately, the logs that they produce are still brown (burnt umber, as described in the raws). With premium graphics, the trunks, wood, and products all use the burnt umber color. Logs can be processed in a [[dyer's shop]] into [[dye]].

Some [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] birches for their ''catkins'', ''silver bark'', and ''autumn coloration''.

[[File:Betula_pendula_Finland.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Admired for its ''silver bark''.]]

== In Real Life ==

Birch bark was historically used as a form of [[parchment]] and fire starter, though the former use is no longer relevant, the latter is still very true.

'''Alder''' is one of the many genera of [[tree]]s found above ground. A deciduous [[tree]], it sheds leaves in [[calendar|autumn]], although this has no effect on the wood produced by [[wood cutting|chopping]] it down. Like the vast majority of above ground trees, alder [[wood]] is brown and produces brown products. The wood from this tree is relatively light compared to other above-ground trees, which makes it a marginally better material for hauling and a marginally worse one for [[crossbow]] melee combat and [[ballista]] ammunition. Logs and cones can be processed in a [[dyer's shop]] into [[dye]].

Some [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] alders for their ''autumn coloration'' and their ''catkins''.

The '''willow''' is a type of [[above ground]] [[tree]] that is found in nearly any [[biome]] that has trees; but only near rivers, pools or other water. Like the overwhelming majority of overland trees, willow [[wood]] is [[Wood#Types|brown]] and produces brown [[carpenter|products]]. Logs and leaves can be processed in a [[dyer's shop]] into [[dye]].

Willow trees provide the sixth-lightest type of wood in the game, with a [[density]] of 0.390 g/cm³ (just under 2/3 of the average wood density of 0.600 g/cm³). Compared to lighter trees, willows have the benefit of growing nearly everywhere (near water), while the lighter trees are restricted to [[tropical]] climates (in the cases of [[papaya]]s, [[candlenut]]s, [[kapok]]s, and [[custard-apple]]s) or [[Surroundings#Good|good surroundings]] (in the case of [[feather tree]]s). As such, willow is the lightest indigenous wood type available to players on neutral or evil [[temperate]] embarks.

Willow trees produce '''Willow fruit''', which cannot be stockpiled, brewed or cooked at present, leaving dwarves free to chop down these trees for wood, unless they particularly want a shady place to sit while fishing.

Some [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] willows for their ''fluffy catkins'' and their ''sad appearance''.

Oaks are notable for producing ''extreme'' amounts of wood logs when cut down. A fully-grown oak can produce at least 30 logs per tree, going over 40 at times, and can actually beat out the [[highwood]] for wood production. The only problems are that, only growing in temperate broadleaf forests, they are frequently crowded in by other types of trees, and that it will be hard to find a use (or stockpile space) for all the logs one produces.

Their acorns are also edible and extremely plentiful, although they are not brewable, and temperate broadleaf forests have plenty of fruit-bearing trees. You may want to harvest the oaks for wood, and keep the persimmon and cherry trees for fruits.

Some [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] oaks for their ''acorns'' and their ''autumn coloration''.
