Ancestor:Descendants:

The fuzztree split from its ancestor, the talfuzz. It has moved to Jaydoh Temperate Beach where it developed island giganstism and grew to 10 times its ancestor's size. It also has changed its reproduction from asexual to sexual. It has gained airborne spores which get caught in the fuzzy leaves of other fuzztrees and this pollinate them. One pollinated they will grow fuzzy blue berries. These have seeds inside them and thus are meant for fauna to consume and distribute elsewhere. They are also buoyant so if they fall into the water they can wash up farther down the beach. Their pollination season is in the spring while their fruiting season is in the fall. They keep their fuzzy leaves year round and are well adapted for the cold like their ancestors were.
