morningGlory is a persistent macro-organic virus.
Efforts at irradication are often failures due to its quick maturity cycle and persistent self-replicating nature.
The virus is hardened against common attacks (pruning, pulling), through a complex usage of weak nodal points, hardy tap-root systems, and a distributed point-of-rooting technique which utilizes "creeper vines."
It has been seen in the wild disrupting gate-cycle operations, and often takes resources from tree functions.
Technote: The seeds of some varieties are hallucinogenic.
