The vomit tree split from its ancestor, the puffkin tree. Due to the devastation of the Huggs Volcanic disaster there were no more trees left in Huggs forest; however life finds a way to fill in the niches. The ground was very fertile from the eruption and trees were bound to grow sooner or later. The Vomit Tree was one of these.
It has changed a bit, growing even taller than its ancestor and growing not one big leaf for each branch which tends to flop over, but a thick branch with many little leaves that are miniature versions of the huge, singular leaves its ancestor had. Its bark has become thicker to prevent water loss since it is no longer dependent upon the river for water.
The vomit tree still reproduces the same way its ancestor did: it has many seeds inside fruit, which have hard shells with a bitter layer. When the creature eat the tasty fruit it will ingest the seeds. The seeds will secrete the bitter chemicals later in the day and give them indigestion, forcefully having them vomit out some of the seeds in a new spot, which then immediately begin to grow. However, creatures cannot resist the extremely sweet taste of the vomit tree fruit. This is why its called the vomit tree.
