How to upgrade the Biggdrasil and change to a different one

In order to upgrade the Biggdrasil once plopped, you will need a steady supply of manure to have the growth meter reach the growth point of each upgrade. Once reached, the blue growth bar will turn red, meaning you can choose which upgrade to activate if in the right era.
Root of Nature, Land, and Forest all have their upgrade paths, and you can only choose one. Once chosen, each upgrade gives two upgrade options on each era. Do choose wisely since you can't undo the upgrade you chose without resetting to the beginning
Currently, there is no faster way to make the growth meter go faster besides having a good amount of manure stored so it doesn't stop growing.
In order to change or to reset Biggdrasil, you will need to bulldoze the tree. Doing so will reset your progress back to the beginning. Noted that relocating the Biggdrasil won't reset it.
Warning: Resetting Biggdrasil will make you do the long growth process again.
So far, I haven't had the Biggdrasil get attacked or destroyed by something, but I would still be cautious.
