The dacmastalk replaced it's ancestor. It has grown to be 10 m tall, and no longer moves in the direction of the sun. To catch more sunlight, It's leaves have become smaller, and have bifurcated. These leaves grow during the spring, and blown off during the fall by the winds. These leaves take 2 years to decompose, leaving leaves on the forest floor. In the dacmastalk's high canopy, there are now several cylindrical spores that burst in the early spring. The dacmastalk's hard covering now spreads throughout the tree. These tall flora can live up to 100 years.
