The blush fruit split from its ancestor, the ripocaca and spread throughout the nearby forest. This has occurred because of the complex system of thick roots the ripocaca formed made it much harder for new floras to grow at the Terra Marsh. Therefore, ripocacas that mutated and had thinner roots could pass through the tangled soil and get to the deeper layers and gain water and nutrients with no competition. These have evolved into the blushfruit.
Living near its ancestor in some of the biomes and competing with new types of flora in other biomes the blushfruit only grows its fruits 3 times a year in specific dates so it will be the most popular and common fruit at that time. These fruits are fleshy and extremely sweet with a flavor similar to candy apples and are filled with tiny seeds. It can still reproduce by roots detaching as well. It still grows lung like root bodies like his ancestors but these only grow 6 meters into the ground and below.
