*Still in development
Maintainable 3D trees growing in real time.
Botanica is a collection of dynamic and unique Alonzo-era NF(Trees), adding a splash of green to the Cardano ecosystem.

No images, no external models, 100% code!
Features
Real-Time Growth
*Available on release
Patience is a virtue: from a fragile sapling to a mature tree, your tree will continuously grow in front of your eyes. Each tree has a unique growth pattern.

Growth time aligns with approximately 6 weeks of the calendar year.
Seasons
*Available on release
The appearance of the trees is constantly changing. They go through the autumn and flower blooming seasons of the hemisphere they reside (Northern or Southern) - no year is ever the same!
Pruning
*Available shortly after release (see roadmap)
Thanks to the power of Plutus smart contracts, you will be able to gradually modify the appearance of a tree to your liking, all while still maintaining the same policy ID.

Specific regions can be cut, spawning a new shoot to grow in a random, different direction.
Genome
With the exception of the pot design, background and tree location (hemisphere), each trait is genetically encoded. All traits combined theoretically allow 47,900,160 possible combinations.
Current Task Milestones & Roadmap
While we feel that in its current state this project offers something fresh and unique to the space, ultimately the community decides its future. There are ideas for additional features (besides pruning) we would like to add after release, contingent on community interest in the project. Please note that the roadmap is not exhaustive and is subject to change, though realistic goals in the near-mid term have been detailed.
