Changes: Truffula Tree

Revision as of 18:53, 26 February 2012

The Truffula Tree is a species of tree featured in The Lorax.

Appearance

They have yellow or white-and-black striped bark and a large tuft at the tops which can be knitted into a Thneed. This tuft is typically a warm color, commonly red, orange, yellow, and pink, rarely coming in purple. Truffula trees apparently give off the smell of butterfly milk.

Growth

According to the Lorax , it takes ten months for a seed to germinate, ten years to sprout into a sapling, and another ten years to become fully grown.

They also bear a fruit which resembles grapes. This fruit forms the primary diet of the Bar-ba-loots.

Role in The Lorax

The Truffula Tree's role in the Lorax is a source of material required in creating a Thneed. It is unknown what the trunk of the tree is used for.

Trivia

The trees bear a faint resemblance to the clovers in Horton Hears A Who.
