Awe, after a previous shit-filled day and another fun hospital visit, I get something nice 'n wholesome when I wake up today.
My zombie diary story gets recommended for the first time, in a thread for zombie stories, then the OP reads and leaves a review after reading all current chapters.
A once speculated behavior among cloud trees has now been confirmed.
Trees once known for loudly battling invasive weeds appear unsettled when none remain. Lacking clear threats, the tree grows creeping vines that begin tightening around its own nearby fruit, or the fruit of neighboring trees, damaging them.
The tree likely believes it is defending the orchard.
Fruit grown from the cloud trees display a tendency to produce prolonged vocalizations when distressed. The sounds are consistent and appear to echo across nearby branches, persisting despite no visible threat. Nearby fruit continue growing.
I remain unsure whether this behavior serves a survival purpose or is the fruit's way of drawing attention to itself in order to be picked.
Observation reveals that fruit produced by cloud banana trees display unusually strong reactions when presented with various facial expressions. Specimens exposed to more dynamic emotions appear to enter a state of acute distress, resulting in either suspended growth or falling prematurely from the branch, as if experiencing hostile weather conditions.
Fascinating phenomenon observed in the Orchard today!
Certain cloud trees practice a rare technique known as selective growing,
picking exactly one-third of branches to grow from, then insists fruit grew from the entire tree.
