 Oran berries are 1 to 2 cm across and bright blue. Each bush produces dozens and the wild berries are an important food source for many pokémon while farmed or garden berries are made into jam. Oran berries have restorative properties and can staunch bleeding and heal cuts and bruises, although they can only **cure minor injuries**. However this is generally sufficient for restoring pokémon after minor scuffles.
+==== Persim ====
+Persim plants are medium trees that like sunny, well watered soils. Their leaves are have fine hairs over the lower side that gives them a blueish colour when seen from below. Their orange flowers have four petals and produce a distinctive sweet scent. Since persim plants dislike shade the trees are often grown ringing orchards of other berry trees.
+Persim berries are 4 to 5 cm across and a rich pink colour and very soft when fully ripened. While the ripe berries are sweet, for most of their growth persim berries are hard and bitter. The final ripening requires several days of bright sunlight and in the wild entire tree's worth can be lost if the season is extremely overcast or if the plant is overshadowed by neighbouring plants. While ripe berries only last a few days, the fully grown but still bitter fruit can be stored for over a month. Persim berries **cure confusion**.

 ===== Other Berries =====
+==== Pomeg ====
+Pomeg plants are trees with distinctive swollen trunks that grow in harsh conditions. Their comparatively small straggly branches and tendency to shed leaves during drought, starvation or excessive heat lends them a skeletal appearance. The tree stores water and nutrients in its enlarged trunk and stymies attempts to tap this reservoir by oozing sticky maroon resin when damaged. Heavy rains prompt the production of scarlet blossoms with feathery petals.
+Pomeg berries are 12 to 15 cm across and have a tough, unpalatable outer coating. Breaking open the berry reveals several dozen large crimson arils (a tiny seed embedded in a pea-sized skin of juicy flesh) linked by a pale membrane. The arils have a metallic flavour reminiscent of blood; indeed, pomeg berries are known to **attract Blood-type pokémon**. This trait, along with their sinister appearance and red colouring of the berries, flowers and sap led to the Kyza considering Pomeg plants cursed.
+==== Qualot ====
+Qualot plants are shore dwelling plants that tolerate fresh or brackish water. A mature qualot plant can reach a metre high and several metres wide. Their leaves are ribbon shaped with a pointed tip to drain rainwater and their flowers a pale green tassel held clear from the plant on long tendrils. Qualot plants are challenging to cultivate due to requiring silty ground and sizable water canals for their roots to grow into.
+Qualot berries are 8 to 10 cm long and shaped like fat cigars that taper from a vivid pink middle to yellow tips. As the berry grows the tendrils that once supported the flower droop downwards until the submerged and the berry will only fully ripen underwater. The pulpy inner flesh is dotted with small seeds and rapidly causes numbness and mild paralysis of the mouth if eaten by land animals; fish are immune and the plants main means of dispersion. When applied to skin the pulp is a **topical anesthetic** that takes a few minutes to reach full potency and lasts approximately half an hour.

 Wiki plants are woody climbing vines that favour the warmer parts of Sehto. In the wild they use rocks and dead trees as their primary support; wiki farms use wooden frames raised high enough for pickers to comfortably work beneath. Wiki flowers are delicate blue blossoms that grow on thin tendrils extending from the stem of the vine and held clear of the leaves.
-Wiki berries are 8 to 10 cm across with a vividly purple skin covered in small lumps that contain the seeds. The skin is thin but rubbery and generally considered inedible. The inner flesh is soft enough to be consumed with a spoon, somewhat tangy, and fades from a darker purple hue at the edges to a translucent blue in the centre. While the fruit does accelerate healing it acts too slowly to be useful in battle or emergency situations. However compounds extracted from wiki berries are the primary ingredient in healing **potions** and wiki berries are therefore widely farmed.
