I've just posted this to make sure I'm on the right track.
This is really good, and there is no "wrong track," because I don't know enough. I hadn't thought of grafting fruits to the floating trees, but I like that idea a lot.

I wanted to make everything biologically compatible with the real world; this reality is a magical filter/mixer for the Decanic forces that define the material universe, after all.

Plant pathogens are a quandary, though, and something I hadn't even considered. I do know the vegetation in the temperate maritime rainforests of the Pacific Northwest are remarkably resistant to everything, which is why I used them as my main source of inspiration for vegetation at zero-level.

It would make sense that the limited temperature variations in that region would be why that's so.
