The fleshfruit tree borrowed on the evolutionary idea of encouraging herbivores to consume their fruit (as a method of seed dispersal) by wrapping them in large balls of sugar: the Fleshfruit Tree wraps its seeds in masses of protein which exude an odour of animal flesh as a means of encouraging consumption by carnivores. To protect against the caustic environment of the carnivore gut the seeds are extra-sturdy; however, the energy required to construct dense balls of complex proteins and hardy seeds requires extra-efficient energy availability, which the Fleshfruit Tree obtains by digesting corpses of smaller animals that fall into holes formed naturally around its base as a result of the growth of its extensive root system (rather akin to the feeding practices of antlions).

=== Nomenclature ===
The fleshfruit tree is on the taller side on its own world and is thus called trees relative to other plants; however, it is no taller than what might call bushes on Earth.
