Forktuff

The forktuff replaced its ancestor, the spicy tuffdra. Due to a mutation, the branches split in the middle, forming a fork-like shape. Due to the forks it has more area to photosynthesize with less cost. It also has only a few branches, instead of the many of their ancestors. Due to the climate change, it has lost its biological antifreeze. Like its ancestor it produces capsaicin for defending from herbivores. It now has a much higher scoville-grade, reaching almost 3,000 scoville.
