Boreal Tubeplage

The Boreal Tubeplage split from its ancetor the Scrubland Tubeplage. It lives in high elevations. Its waxy leaves are now pointed and spiked much like Earth holly, which helps deter herbivores. Like their ancestor they grows a fruit on the end of its leaves. The orange tips and bright fruit help attract frugivores to their fruits and thus spread their seeds to new locations. Each of leaf tips are covered in a sticky bright orange sap which is filled with male reproductive cells. When herbivores eat their leaves or pass by they will rub against other tubeplages and open tiny pores on its leaf tips for its flowers to be pollinated. However some xenobees also have specialized to pollinate them too. Every year it will grow a new segment. Their circular trunks are porous, yet structurally strong, so it provides circulation of nutrients and support. They can live up to 90 years.
