With large flora being relatively uncommon within many parts of Maineiac aside from true giants such as the [[Four-Prongion]] or [[Repeating Treebion]], the niche was relatively wide open. This gave certain populations of Bangsticks the opportunity to move inland. While developing adaptations to survive in wetter habitats, they also had to deal with the little competition present that may cause shadows over the endosymbiotic cryoutines and prevent reproduction. To counter this, certain populations elevated their endosymbiotic cryoutines with a trunk and eventually gave rise to the '''Blastree'''.
Similarly to Bangsticks, Blastrees also have sexual reproduction with distinct male and female stems growing on the same individual due to them being hermaphrodites. The male stems fire spores into the air, and they eventually land in and fertilize a female stem which soon fires its seeds. Its seeds are contained in a larger casing which explodes in midair, sending seed “shrapnel” flying in all directions. The firing of the seed makes a “boom” sound while the seed casing exploding creates more of a “bang”, so when a Blastree fires its seeds one might hear “boom boom boom boom, bang bang bang bang”. The combustion organ has reduced in size, thus causing the seeds to not travel as far as their ancestors. This results in the majority of Blastree seeds to land somewhere in Maineiac after a brief time in the Troposphere though they do occasionally land in Barlowe and Hydro. While the occasional Blastree seeds that land on Hydro do not last long, the species has established a permanent population on Barlowe.
