Tiberium Dawn - Blossom Tree?

[DarthLazze]

I never played the original C&C Tiberium Dawn, so I don't know how it was supposed to work..
But I allowed tiberium to grow back and I take it the Blossom Trees are for that.

How did they work back then? Must there be "some" Tiberium left around a Blossom Tree for it to produce more? I cleaned out the area near me in a skirmish and while the tree is seemingly pumping out something according to the graphics, nothing is actually happening..?

Thanks in advance

It takes some timo to grow new tiberium. In general, you should move to next field. But as long as at least one crystal remains, it will spread.

Also you will see trees in fields that appear as trees but if you hover the mouse cursor over. The tooltip will say blossom tree even though it hasn't changed over yet.

So there has to be one crystal of tiberium left? Because the field is completely clean.. seems a bit strange there's a 'blossom tree' there if it needs already present Tiberium in order to be able to spread, no?
Otherwise what's the point of the tree?

Evolving trees are just adorable; miss that feature in TS.

Well I tried another game, where there was a tree and no tiberium around.. and it's growing now. But in that other game, it didn't. Bug maybe??

Blossom Trees do not propagate Tiberium. Instead, it will grow from whatever crystals are left on the field:

You can always make fake Tib Trees by placing a Nod Buggy or Humvee over a big patch. I know its uses up forces but it prevents your harvester from taking it and will regrow like a normal tree.

But... how can that be?

I took this from the wiki page about Tiberium Dawn.

"These trees make Tiberium crystals grow around them and cause damage to any infantry near them."

Yes, they do spawn out Tiberium, and the crystals themselves.
