Ancestor:Descendants:

The hanging blushtree split from its ancestor, the blushfruit and spread throughout the Dixon forests. It has a very deep system of roots the dig in quite well and protects it from falling down and supports it with constant water and nutrients. It has evolved a second shrub of leaves near its fruits down shade down on nearby flora isolating the tree itself for close competition. Like its ancestor it will only grow its fruits 3 times a year, in the beginning of the fall, in the beginning of the spring, and at the beginning of the summer. Its fruit have a very sweet taste and attract many different herbivores. They fall on the floor near the tree and contain seeds that are spread by the animals that feed on them. The hanging blushtree can still reproduce asexually using detaching roots but this rarely happens, mainly after natural disasters or over feeding that leaves wounded trees behind. One can tell the age of an individual by the length of the roots as these keep growing until it dies.
