Repeating Treebion

The Repeating Treebion split from its ancestor and got much larger, becoming a true tree. As its name suggests, it repeats itself as it grows, increasing its height and surface area for photosynthesis considerably. It has several hook-branches in a ring radiating around its trunk every few meters. The bristle leaves have taken on a branching shape to increase their surface area for photosynthesis as well. It also has a woody trunk, supporting its height. Unlike other new trees appearing around this same time, the Repeating Treebion is not suited to supporting arboreal creatures. Its spores are very hardy, helping to ensure its reproductive success. It can take decades to reach its full height, but it can live for hundreds of years.
