Silverleaf

The Silverleaf is a tree that grows in the Deep Forest of Yew. It can be distinguished by its silvery leaves, and light tan, almost white trunk. Although the leaves of a silverleaf are considered a delicacy to many people, it has recently been found out that the race of creatures known as the emps make their homes in these trees.

The woodcutter Ben made a contract with the Emps in Ultima VII, after being told by the Avatar about the situation, in which he declared to no longer cut Silverleaf trees. Since then, the destruction of silverleaf trees had been halted.

Trivia

 * The Silverleaf meal is the most useless ever encountered, since it has a nutrient value of zero.
 * After the contract is signed, Silverleaf meal vanishes from the list of foods available in taverns.
 * There are also Silverleaf trees on the Serpent Isle, in the northern forest, at the house of the Forest Master.
