The quarry bush is one of the six subterranean Template:Ls. Quarry bush Template:Ls are known as rock nuts. They can be planted in Template:L, Template:L and Template:L.
Quarry bushes can be processed at a Template:L into Template:Ls of quarry bush leaves, which then must be cooked at the Template:L to be edible. You will need an empty bag to be available for this task.
Processing quarry bushes at a Template:L will produce 5 quarry bush leaves (and one rock nut) for every plant in a given stack of quarry bushes. Processing one bush will require one Template:L and can yield 5 leaves from each plant in stack. Quarry bush leaves will be removed from their bag if taken for cooking while still in a farmer's workshop.
Template:Ling quarry bush leaves can result in very large stacks of Prepared Food, thus saving space and Template:Ls. In a fortress that relies on selling large expensive stacks of Prepared Food, quarry bush leaves are great filler: a lavish meal made from Template:L and Template:L with two stacks of quarry bush leaves for filler is worth almost ten times more than an easy meal made from wine and cheese alone.
Rock nuts cannot be purchased on embark.
Quarry bushes cannot be Template:L into Template:L.

Much debate exists amongst dwarven scholars as to why the quarry bush, which never sees the light of the sun, should grow leaves. While many of them have ultimately written the question off as unanswerable, some strange few have claimed that the bush is proof that they are nothing more than automata in a simulation of dwarven living, and that one of the mysterious controllers is dropping not-so-subtle hints like the quarry bush that there is another reality beyond the one all dwarves experience. Unfortunately, said dwarves all too often have shortened lifespans as contemplating such great mysteries generally leads to melancholy or other madness. For the more bright dwarven scholars the matter is easier: The bush has evolved from a surface plant into a subterranean plant and simply kept its leaves.
