Tropical Gecoba Tree

The tropical gecoba tree split from its ancestor after the evolution of the westward haglox. When some gecoba tree seeds ended up in parts of Darwin, they had to quickly adapt to dealing with intense competition with other Purple Flora and even more Crystal Flora than in Vivus.

In order to gain more sunlight than its ancestor, it is not only taller, but its leaves are larger and wider. To gain more pollinators and frugivores to spread its seeds, it not only has evolved more elaborate-looking flowers, but also grows them in higher quantities, leading to more fruit grown and consumed. The fruit from a tropical gecoba tree still has rich and creamy flesh that tastes much like a combination of Earth's pineapple and mozzarella cheese. Much like its ancestor, the tropical gecoba tree fruit is also highly nutritious as it not only contains several vitamins and minerals, but also healthy fats, which make them highly sought out by other organisms. The fruit, once they begin to go overripe, will fall off the parent tree and are eaten by other creatures down below, which can move the large seed from one place to the other.

Much like its ancestor, the tropical gecoba tree still produces produces poisons when it starts out as a young sapling. These poisons not only keep parasites away from it, but also kill off any crystal flora in the vicinity of 7 meters all around. This sort of strategy helps it deal with the competition. However, as it ages, it produces less and less of the poisons, which makes it vulnerable to parasites when it reaches its maximum height. The tropical gecoba tree can live up to 145 years at the maximum and reaches its maximum height in about 3-5 months. The tropical gecoba tree is also capable of some water storage; because of this, the tropical gecoba tree thrives far better than its competitors during the dry season.

Because of the westward haglox's high range across the Dixon-Darwin Boreal, some tropical gecoba trees have ended up in areas that were cut off by the boreal, scrublands, and savanna. These places include Javen Tropical Woodland, Javen Tropical Rainforest, Javen Temperate Rainforest, Dixon Tropical Rainforest, and the Dixon Tropical Woodland.
