Truffula Trees

The Truffula Trees are pieces of nature and a very important part of the Lorax.

It is shown that in Thneedville there are no trees, and since Audrey was longing to see a truffula tree, Ted went out to find the Once-ler so he could find out what happened to them.

It turns out that when the Once-ler was young, he and his donkey found what he called paradise, or it's proper name, The Truffula Forest.

When the Once-ler cut down one of the trees, the Lorax appeared and tried to stop him from cutting down any more, but the Once-ler eventually lost it and became filled with greed, cutting down the whole forest to make his thneed, until the final truffula tree was cut down, ending the business, and causing the animals to leave.

At the end of the story, the Once-ler gave Ted the last seed for him to plant in town, in which he succeeded.
