Flora - Bulbous Chirus Tree

World building prompt to discover new species! This tree produces a large melon type fruit, Chirusmelon, after a number of good water years. The bulbous trunks store water to last out droughts and high stress. The root system is also bulbous and gourd like, making them excellent targets for foraged water containers. If you take too much of the root system, these trees become top heavy and fall over.
