The ubiquitous Nexus bingberry is a fruit farmed extensively by both Exile and Dominion farmers. Primarily pollinated by large insects known as buzzbings, bingberry trees can grow in a wide variety of soils and climates and were found growing wild by the first settlers to arrive - hungry settlers who found the towering trees easy to pick, plant, and harvest. Bingberries are used as an ingredient in jams, liquor, sweeteners, and bio-weapons. They are considered rather large, for berries.
Farming
Bingberry trees are easy to grow and maintain - but seem to have originally been farmed by giants. The bingberry itself grows at the tops of the fast-growing plants, and most sentient species require assistance to actually bring in the harvest. Rather than use disruptive, potentially polluting technology, most bingberry farms employ simple anti-grav technology to allow farmhands to reach the delicious fruits of their labors.
