How do they get down? Do they need to?



Gliders? The plants look highly specialized; the original growers might have subsumed hollow tubes into the trunks larger branches. Those would, theoretically at least, admit bi-directional travel, unlike gliders. You would have to get down at some point: the top-soil presented is no where nearly thick enough to support even modest population.
