Mangos Species in The Black Thorne Continent | World Anvil

Mangos

Monolithic Super Trees

Mango Trees are a tropical tree, that grow into the size of forever trees, a group of trees which are parental and grow continuously, their sheer size dwarfing the heights of castle walls.

It is hard for them to grow, the evolutionary warfare intense as perhaps one in a hundred thousand seeds, the balancing act tends to be dependent on the environment.

These mango trees have a strong need for the rains when they dig deep, they can grow high enough to be one hundred feet or fifty meters.

These are extremely rare as it takes centuries for them to become so big.

Mega Forests

The forest, when water requirements are meet will expand in a massive circle with hundreds if not thousands of young shoots in decades, the best-adapted shoots surviving and growing quickly under the older shoot's healing root.

The Healing Root

Is a massive water collecting effort that almost all species of forever trees possess. But each will have it in their unique way, the mango trees use an underground network of linked roots which act as a healthy base that limit the accelerated growth of younger trees by creating a web-like cage, the webbed roos prevent the spread of other roots by taking up the space itself. Better adapted roots of mango trees will weave in and survive.
The rest will die out.

Alien

The method is not flawless as other breeds of plant who managed to weave through the root system can infiltrate the network, the trees in between with them either being Symbiotic or Parasitic.  

The Petrification

There is a great deal of investigation out there in terms of the horror event called the petrification, this is an event where everything in range of a forest is instantly turned to stone. Mango forests are considered to be one of the few forests to ever petrify. There are books of research describing the conditions of those trees, most especially the centre tree which had decade tp the point of death.
