Hmm so now Shinju-stem is distinguished from Shinju-tree according to the anime? I'm curious which tree will be merged with Kaguya in coming episodes. Even if those trees have the same roots there are still two trees according to the definicion I know a tree divided into two stems is counted as two separate trees when the point of division is less than a meter over the ground or so.

When Kaguya consumed the fruit and casted the IT upon the world, the made the Shinju roots spread and trap the victims via God: Nativity of a World of Trees. Only after this, the new stem of Shinju with the flower atop of it, akin to the one TTJ-Obito used during the FSWW, finally appeared from the main Shinju trunk, although I still don't know the reason of it appearing. The division to two trees is shown first after eating of fruit when Kaguya is flying upwards to cast the IT. So it's like the second she ate the fruit the tree is divided :/ 19th 56th second till 19th 58 second of the episode
