Ancestor:Descendants:

The chandelier tree split from its ancestor, the desert goth tree and made its way into Ninja Sandstone Caves. There it climbs up the cave walls using their curling branches to hook onto the sides. Once its reaches the top it will hang down its puffy spores in the shape of a chandelier. It must grow close to the cave openings to have light. Since there is not much wind in the cave they have lost their gliding berries. Instead they only produce sticky spores which stick to fauna who run into the hanging chandelier. Other than that they are just like their ancestor.
