Fodder tree lineages
Fodder tree lineages
by Fralegend015
During the entire period of the Early Neovestigia, one of the phenomena created by the excess in open niches that existed throughout the planet is the development of plants to fill the gaps. An example of one of them is the Fodder tree lineage. Thanks to their ability to spread quickly, they will have the advantage that even after an event that destroys areas, they are able to fill back what was lost, giving them the advantage and the opportunity to diversify into different forms.
Fodder Shrub
Descendant: Fodder tree
Description: Fodder tree descendants that evolved to adapt for survival in dry climates, the average height being between 75 cm - 1 meter with the tallest specimens reaching 1,6 meters. Their branches also spread out significantly more than those of Fodder tree, making them look more roundish than tubular and their leaves are needle-like in order to minimize the loss of water.
Fodder shrubs can spread throught new shoots from rhizomes, making them generate extensive shrublands rather quickly.
Fodder Stick

Fodder Crown
Descendant: Fodder tree
Description: These descendants of fodder trees can reach 11-12 meters of height and their canopy spreads in a more spherical pattern than that of their ancestors. Their leavers are flat and wide and point downwards during cold seasons in order to let snow slide off, and then readjust themselves during warmer seasons.
Fodder crowns utilize thick rhizomes as emergency reserves for winter.
Fodder crowns can be found predominantly in temperate climates
This vegetation plays a role similar to the Pando forests in terms of their behavior and ability to spread.
