The Vesuvague tree was a carnivorous, semi-sentient, red-barked tree from the planet Ithor. It was one of a number of intelligent plants from the world, a category which included the Bafforr tree.

The tree was able to move towards motion, though rooted in the earth, by sensing air vibrations in its leaves and ground vibrations in its roots. In order to catch its prey it used its quickly growing vines and roots, capable of growing multiple meters in mere seconds, to seize, strangle, and crush its food. Once dead, the tree would bury its vines and roots inside of its prey, and slowly feed off of its body fluids. It could be trained to respond to simple commands much like a pet, and could understand words by using its leaves to sense the vibrations and patterns of spoken languages.

Momaw Nadon planted a vesuvague tree in his secret garden in the mountains south of Mos Eisley on Tatooine. It acted as a watchdog for the site, and its reputation warded off stormtroopers and local police. The grove also concealed a secret chamber for hiding local Rebels.
