Dune Goth Tree

The dune goth tree split from its ancestor the coastal goth tree and became a population that permanently and specifically resides on the upper portions of beaches. They have quadrupled in size to 2 m tall and wide. Often they grow in a sprawling manner with multiple main stems toward one side merely as a result of their own body weight. Their bodies above ground grow in repeating segments with stems that support leaves growing in an alternate manner up the main stem. After reaching roughly their mature height, an individual main stem will terminate in a fruiting body, elongating into a very narrow growth draped with blue fruits.

Their segmented body is very waxy and resistant to desiccation. If a section of stem is broken or buried then it will attempt to root at the base of the segments touching the ground. During the day their leaves are opened as is typical of their line of flora, during the night they close up at a hinge point as well. As is common among flora that lives in dunes and beach environments the taproot of the Dune Goth Tree is quite long to reach out and find nutrients and water.
