Evolved from U. sustensa some seeds from zone D dropped into zone C and eventually grew and started to reproduce. They developed longer roots which are 50 feet long and shorter growth to be able to be stabilize better and are harder to be uprooted by T.gigaswampa.

Found in zone C, they grow in a max height of 70-80 feet tall. They have massive leaves that cover the canopy resulting in lower plant growth below their leaves however due to some being uprooted by T.gigaswampa they only shade around 25% of the forest floor while the other tree polyphs grow up to 25% of the canopy. Saplings are able to grow 10 feet per year with most of the energy coming from the fertile soils of zone D due to T.gigaswampa uprooting and destroying tree polyphs to feed allowing wood to decompose create more fertile but loose soil.

Wind storms in zone C causes some of them collapse, but the rotting wood allows rotting wood to be more frequent which creates excellent fertilizer allowing more of them to grow as well as other polyphs.

The trees drops thousands of seeds to the ground as most may not survive due to the shady canopy from their species or other tree polyphs. Most are not purple until they reach 50 feet tall they start to pigment turning dark purple close to black
