Weeping Baseejie

The Honeyfruit Weepress came to be when some Steiner Phlyers introduced the weeping baseejie to Steiner. There, it adapted to the tropical climate and grew taller in response to increased rainfall. They ultimately swung back north via the Steiner Phlyer and replaced its ancestor in Ramul due to its larger size.

Honeyfruit weepresses often dominate in areas too salty for other trees to grow. They also tend to occur further inland, forming mixed communities with mainland fuzzpalms and mangots. However, this only occurs in the absence of the strangling influence of the lurtrees. Honeyfruit weepresses are most common on small islands with no rainforests or woodlands further inland, often forming clonal forests in the center. More often than not, these small islands are dominated by a single colony of honeyfruit weepress.

The honeyfruit weepress' fruit has changed in color. When ripe, the outer shell is red to advertise itself to frugivores. The gel is yellow in color and strikingly similar to honey in appearance. The fruits taste of honeyed strawberries.
