	A hybrid of Jennyapples (RoS, and itself a hybrid of Jennystone and Stabapple) and Stabapples, the results of this attempt was much different from either parent plant. Jennystabs shoot up to 8 feet tall in spring, like a stiff blade of grass, before thickening and putting out twigs with leaves and flowers in early summer and crabapples in autumn. The crabapples grow in bunches of seven and show none of their Jennystone heritage; each bunch is too woody and astringent to eat (1 glamour to digest, but give 1 glamour, net gain.loss of zero), but can be cooked or turned into (hard) cider to get the glamour. When the leaves fall, tall, wooden, sharp stakes are all that's left, which can themselves be harvested at this point. The plant needs all 4 season in order so that it can gain this state.

	When the cloverdice were made, the grower made a little mistake and included wood sorrel in the mix as well. Thankfully, the luck of the clover held; the false cloverdice somewhat resembles the cloverdice, but has distinct, 5-petaled yellow flowers and yellow cubic berries. The foliage is copious and delicious, going well in a salad (and tastes like wood sorrel at it's finest) and as much nutrition as a similar serving of kale, while the berries have a hint of lemon to them. Neither the foliage nor the berries confer any benefit, however, not even glamour.		When the cloverdice were made, the grower made a little mistake and included wood sorrel in the mix as well.

	Instead, they're alive. Wormberries are filled with hundreds of egg cases, each of which hatch into mosquito-like larvae if conditions are right- such as a puddle that the berries fall into, or in the stomach of anything that eats the berries a day after doing so. A single berry can have over 100 eggs, whose larvae grow to the size of maggots and are resistant to most treatments, eating all the more- characters who consume them are at risk of malnutrition (see nWoD rulebook on intestinal parasites). Additionally, they require 1 glamour per day per 100 eggs to grow, starting 2 days after they hatch. In changelings or hobgoblins, this can be provided by eating one goblin fruit daily; if not, it's not too hard to sup some from the lining of the stomach. In mortals, however, the only way to get some is to harvest it from the pain caused by burrowing into the stomach- this risks serious infection, incapacitation and possible death. Worse, the worms don't need to harvest the pain of their host; the disgust of a medical examiner or the horror of a doctor do just fine, and the worms are perfectly capable of storing glamour if they think it'll be sparse.

	The worms are resistant to most treatments, both mundane and magical.

	Like wolfsbane, the adverse effects can reversed with the proper knowledge, though this requires quite a lot of the plant to process. This requires an extended int + occult roll requiring at least 15 successes, at which point the finished product can be produced with a simple extend crafts roll requiring around 5 successes. The end effect results with the imbiber gaining +3 bonus dice to all social rolls in which the recipient is female (with the exception of intimidation) for a day. Furthermore if character using the refined form of the goblin fruit is a woman, she gains a temporary point of willpower each scene till the effect ends 24 after being applied.

			==Goblin Fruit Hybrids==

			Yes, goblin fruits can be hybridized! The hybrids can either be created intentionally, by accident in the freehold, or by simple fate around a freehold. In all cases, the effects of doing so are unpredictable; however, the following is generally true:

			-they exist only around either the freehold or the hollows where they were created or planted, and only there. If a freehold or hollow is abandoned, the hybrids will disappear
			-they are more delicate, or harder to grow, than normal goblin fruits, hence why they're rare
			-they combine the effects of the hybridized plants

			Exceptions to all of the above rules exist! The rules for doing so can be found in the sourcebook Rites of Spring. All fruits not mentioned in this document are not homebrew.

			===Wyrmbeetles===

			An attempt to hybridize the rare fruit wyrmthumb (RoS) and diceberries, in order to get a plant easier to transplant, with the effects of the wyrmthumb. The hybridization took well, the plants grew with minimal fuss, they fruited in gold and crimson... and the berries themselves took flight, scattering about the hollow where they were grown. Worse, the golden bugs produced had deleterious effects, consuming the plants scattered about the hollow, weakening both defenses and garden plants both. The crimson insectoids seem to eat them, and other small Hedge denizens; the problem is that they don't seem to stop growing...

			===Wyrmberries===

			A second hybridization of wyrmthumb and diceberries, albeit with a different (and possible more disasterous) result. The herbaceous perennial that resulted produces black berries resembling those of the diceberry, flavored between the two parent plants, but with a distinctly mealy (though sticky) texture. The berries added a bit of luck towards any attempt escape either bonds or a pursuer (the player rolls a single die with the 9 again rule in effect and if it comes up with any successes, the next pertinent roll the player makes automatically gains those successes). Better yet, the effect works on mortals AND the berries are not addictive.

			Instead, they're alive. Wormberries are filled with hundreds of egg cases, each of which hatch into mosquito-like larvae if conditions are right- such as a puddle that the berries fall into, or in the stomach of anything that eats the berries a day after doing so. A single berry can have over 100 eggs, whose larvae grow to the size of maggots and are resistant to most treatments, eating all the more- characters who consume them are at risk of malnutrition (see nWoD rulebook on intestinal parasites).

			When a mosquito has collected enough nutrition, it finds a nice patch of soil to grow an and grows a new plant. This, thankfully, seems rare; alarmingly, however, it may have happened in the mortal world as well as the Hedge.

			===Jennystabs===

			A hybrid of Jennyapples (RoS, and itself a hybrid of Jennystone and Stabapple) and Stabapples, the results of this attempt was much different from either parent plant. Jennystabs shoot up to 8 feet tall in spring, like a stiff blade of grass, before thickening and putting out twigs with leaves and flowers in early summer and crabapples in autumn. The crabapples grow in bunches of seven and show none of their Jennystone heritage; each bunch is too woody and astringent to eat (1 glamour to digest, but give 1 glamour, net gain.loss of zero), but can be cooked or turned into (hard) cider to get the glamour. When the leaves fall, tall, wooden, sharp stakes are all that's left, which can themselves be harvested at this point. The plant needs all 4 season in order so that it can gain this state.

			===Cloverdice===

			A hybrid of diceberries and the four-leaf clover found just inside of a Hedge gate, cloverdice form sweet-smelling bushes of mostly white (occasionally red) clover flowers with mostly white (occasionally red) cubic (d6) berries. Again, the red berries are the prize; however, they act very differently from diceberries: for each berry eaten, the next (unaffected) roll will recieve an exception success with 3 successes instead of 5; however, the 10-again rule no longer applies, and 1s AND 2s subtract. The white berries still supply glamour, and the red berries are not addictive. The foliage resembles clover, and is technically edible.

			===False Cloverdice===

			When the cloverdice were made, the grower made a little mistake and included wood sorrel in the mix as well. Thankfully, the luck of the clover held; the false cloverdice somewhat resembles the cloverdice, but has distinct, 5-petaled yellow flowers and yellow cubic berries. The foliage is copious and delicious, going well in a salad (and tastes like wood sorrel at it's finest) and as much nutrition as a similar serving of kale, while the berries have a hint of lemon to them. Neither the foliage nor the berries confer any benefit, however, not even glamour.

	Almost identical ~~it's~~ mundane cousin, the ~~wolfesbane~~ that grows mountain meadows of the hedge actually does carry with it some of the powers ascribed to it in legend making.

If simply worn wolfsbane repels anything wolfish within a 10 yard radius unless the affected individuals can pass a resolve + stamina - the wearer's presence to resist being overcome with nausea, the roll being made once every 5 minutes. Wolfsbane can be made into a more potent salve with several choice pickings of the plant's leaves and such with 10 successes on an extend crafts + int check that increases the range from 10 yards to 50 yards. This salve lasts for a day or until washed off.

	If applied directly to anything with a touch of wolf, wolfsbane acts as deadly poison that is mechanically identical to hydrogen cyanide (which can be found on page 125 of Armory). A more portent tincture can be made from the plant with 15 successes on an extended int + crafts roll, which boosts the toxicity to 8 and completely nullifies the effects of werewolf regeneration, not that any damage caused by wolfsbane can be healed by a werewolf's regeneration.

	To anyone with the proper occult knowledge (15 or so success on an extend occult + int roll), wolfsbane's effect can actually be reversed to imbue wolfish properties when properly prepared (5 successes if the process is known, 20 otherwise). The prepared mixture grants the imbiber a temporary blessing of 2 dots to the Contract of Fang and Talon as related to wolves (or +2 if they already have it) and the benefits of the ~~hunterheart~~ kith. If a changeling has brownie's boon, this can in some rare cases turn a mortal into a wolfblooded or in even rarer cases, an actually werewolf.

	Fortunately, wolfsbane is very rare in the hedge and typically only found on the side closer to Arcadia. Nor does it take to transplant very well, requiring a gift of one's own wyrd and sanity to do so. Though wolfsbane on the real world side of the hedge rarely develops into its mature form, appearing more often in its less potent form known as Woman's Bane.

	The hedge has many, many different takes on the poppy but just like in the real world, the most common is the wyrd cousin to the opium poppy. Physically they don't appear much different from their mundane relatives, except for their more splendid coloration and blossoms. The latex obtained from scoring the seed pod is far more potent though, a single fruit producing enough to completely numb all pain allowing the changeling to ignore all wound penalties. Unfortunately the line between numbing all pain and numbing everything is very narrow, requiring a successful dex + medicine roll to get the proper amount, ~~otherwise~~ the consumer suffers a -2 penalty to dex and wits rolls thanks to the tingling numbness that overtakes their body. The common hedge poppy can of course be refined into more potent products.

			==Hollow Amenities==
			===Hollow Gardens===
			Whether a few vines growing through the hollow's thorny walls, an actual garden, or a full field, a hollow garden can be used to grow hedge plants, both for their beauty (The Hedge is not entirely nightmarish) and for their goblin fruits.
			==Hollow Wards==
			===Woven Walls===
			The thorns of the hollow's walls are woven in amongst each other, to create a virtually-impermeable barrier (in direct relation to the toughness of the thorns). Creating this takes an extended action, Wyrd+Dexterity vs. strength, and the successes needed are in direct proportion to the size of the hollow and the stiffness of the thorns. Once completed, the walls take years to degrade.
			'''Roll Results'''

			Dramatic Failure: The character injures herself (1+ lethal damage), and is unable to continue.

			Failure: No successes are accrued.

			Success: Progress is made towards creating the walls.

			Exceptional Success: Great progress is made.
