The feroak split from its ancestor, the robust arid ferine. They have grown twice as large and have adapted to the more forested environments. Like its ancestor it will loose its branches in the fall and stay dormant in winter. Once spring comes around it will quickly regrow its branches and bright pink flowers with yellow pollen. By late summer will produce its sour dark red berries. Its flowers grow out from small stalks at the end of the clumps so nectavores can spread their pollen without getting poked. It depends upon xenobees to spread its pollen. It is a good source of pollen since most other flora around are crystal flora (which produce spores). Its large size towers over most other flora, except for some very tall crystal flora. However, in winter when it is dormant the crystal flora get more of the limited sunlight. For small climbing fauna its branches can become a barrier to predators due to the clumps of purple needle-like leaves. Parasite species like the Sapshrooms and Sapworms feed on their trunk.
