Yarpick
Commonly called the daggerthorn, the yarpick is a shortish, sturdy tree with broad, fringed leaves. Its nickname comes from the frightfully sharp thorns that radiate from its trunk and branches, which can grow anywhere from half a foot to two feet in length. Yarpick thorns have been used as weapons.
Yarpick fruits are not edible, but its plum-sized inner seed is nutty and nutritious, eaten roasted or ground into meal. They are commonly and fairly easily foraged.[1]
Yarpick trees are common in the Bramblewood Forest. Yarpick is also found in the Dapple Wood and Iron Wood.
"Yarpik coffee" is drank in some regions[2] and is "served at every morning meal".[3] It is made from ground yarpick nuts or "beans".[3]
