This is a table of the real-life growths and growth seasons of plants found in Dwarf Fortress. It is a work in progress.

The values in this table will be incorporated into the Plant Fixes mod. Please feel free to help with the research!

A table of the biome distributions of these plants can be found [[Modification:Expanded_Plants/Biomes|here]].

| Tuber || Edible RAW, or cooked; plantable; milled to flour; possibly brewable? || Year-round || Off-white to beige with small brown spots || Until harvested

Work on M is in progress by a friend of mine who prefers to use a spreadsheet. If you're here to help, please begin with another letter. Thanks!
