I think that one is clear. Until Kaguya ate Shinju Fruit, Shinju remained in it's normal tree state. 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.
