The polar quilbil split from its ancestor, moving into the colder biomes of the south. To protect themselves from the cold, their trunks have become thicker and harder for insulation; if part of their trunk gets broken off then it can grow it back. To prevent their leaves from freezing off, they have an outer layer of rubbery insulating cells.
Along with photosynthesizing, they now have a set of above-ground roots which can gain nutrients from detritus, which can come in handy on days when its harder to photosynthesize.
An individual can live up to 15 year; reaching reproductive age at 1 year and reaching full maturity at 2 years. They produce berries every 6 months. Other than these changes, they are the same as their ancestor.
