In-Game Text"There grew there a wonderful tree which bore tiny lambs on the endes of its branches. These branches were so pliable that they bent down to allow the lambs to feed when they are hungrie." – Sir John Mandeville, The Travels Whilst legends have circulated for a long time in Europe concerning "the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary", it is only with the discovery of the New World variants of this remarkable plant that its uses and the methods for its cultivation have been brought to more extensive application in the fields of agriculture.

Each time the Harvest is higher than the Tilled Field's Purity that Field's Purity will permanently increase by up to 1%.
