Vesuvague tree

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Vesuvague Hanging 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, using vibrations in its leaves and in the ground. In order to catch its prey it used its quickly growing vines and roots to seize and strangle food. It could be trained to respond to simple commands much like a pet.

Momaw Nadon planted a Hanging 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.
