Trees have already a lot of mutations and a high chance of mutating on planting. This make getting the mutation you want and keeping it a bit annoying sometimes.
Also a lot of theses tree mutations are incredibly niche and rarely used. The one you see the most are money trees.
-Rubbers trees are only used for obscure secret chems, since the latex is no longer insulating enough for matsci insuls.
-Paper trees rarely see use when there are papers bins everywhere around the station.
-Sassafras has niche use for sarsaparilla drinks and space drugs splice.
-Dogwood barks and is very pretty. Nice decorative tree. No other purpose.
Also light lotuses exist and already produce light. They currently have no mutations. A mutation to make their fruits glow brighter with potency would fit rather well.
Call it bright lotus and have it contain phosphorus in addition to the regular luminol. That would open new splices for botany and and give incentive to go out of botany to find the strange seed.
