Alpine Featherprong

The alpine featherprong has split from its ancestor, the featherprong tree, and has moved to North Dixon Alpine. There it shrunk in size to the maximum growth length of 1 meter due to the treeline. Like its ancestor, it has feathery branches and spore branches. It also has two parts to its trunk. The upper soft part where the branches grow and the lower hard part where its protected from herbivores and the elements. During the cold winter the soft pink parts will shrivel up and the harder trunk will grow over it. Once spring comes the harder outside will shed to allow the pink parts re-grow again.
