Omnibender wrote: I just watched the episode again. When Kaguya eats the fruit, it's very quick, but you can see that the God Tree does not turn from its normal-looking tree form to a form like the one Obito manifested, with the bloom on top. The bloom version literally grows out of nothing near the normal one. You can see the top of both structures when the rift opens in the sky, and again when the camera pans down to Tenji being wrapped by the roots. One more observation to add. When the fruit comes down from the tree Kaguya's standing in front of the tree obviously. The same background when she eats the fruit an flies upwards - this indicates the tree she's standing before is from the start the one with flower bud on top, and as Omnibender said the other tree version literally grows out of nothing near this one.
