The size is a x3 shrinkage of its ancestor as a flora, so within the x4 size change rule for flora.

I can change that if preferred.

J I guess they kind of have heartwood? But these trees don't really have a cambium layer like a lot of plants on earth, I think they would be more closely comparable to Palm trees? At least in their arrangement of their vascular system. But I can put a little something about the hardened center portions of their trunks and branches.

the 4x is for size increase, not decrease.

Oh that's weird.

Okay.

so yeah, it should be changed or justified

I'll just change it to 15, doesn't change anything else about it.

Alrighty, then approved
