The Sponge Tree blueprint is found in a Green Treasure Pod in The Dry Reef.
Due to it being contained in a Blue Treasure Pod, it requires the Treasure Cracker MK I to open it.
The Sponge Tree is used as decoration so has no immediate functional use.
Like all decorations it can be stood on, and considering its height it can potentially be used in conjunction with the Jetpack to reach higher areas.

- The Sponge Tree's stated behavior of storing water during dry periods is reminiscent of cacti, a plant which grows in dry areas whose leaves have been adapted into spines in an effort to conserve as much water as possible. Unlike cacti however, the Sponge Tree appears to still have leaves. A similar decoration, the Sponge Shrub, is visibly similar to the Sponge Tree's leaves and is said to be usable in the bath similar to sponges; which may be how the Sponge Tree is said to retain water.
