This seemed perfect for "Animals of great size roam its jungles, unhindered in their growth by gravity". Although it wouldn't usually be so quickly :)
I'm sure this effect has been seen before, but can't remember where. It looks really strong, but I seem to recall it usually isn't quite as strong as it looks, so I'm not sure what a fair cost is. Alternatively, should it require a mana cost to activate and be a bit larger to start with, or have some sort of a bound (number of lands?)
It's not dissimilar to Lorescale Coatl, in some ways, and it's "worse" than Forgotten Ancient. I think the power level is on a fine place, and the flavor is very fitting.
Weird that this isn't a regular mechanic. You would think it would appear as frequently as Shades or Firebreathers. Maybe it just needs to pop up as a full blown mechanic for a guild in a small set first.
See Challenge # 128.

Chlorophant and Predator Ooze have done similar things, but started rather smaller. There's also Forced Adaptation and Banshee's Blade. None of those examples had/granted trample though.
Momentum, too. Kind of.
