Unidentified Biituian fruit tree

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

The tall trees growing on^[1] the Outer Rim^[2] agriworld Biitu had light-colored bark and green leaves. They produced orange fruit consumable by both the native Biituians and reptiles.^[1]

On Biitu, the native Biituians cultivated the trees in vast orchards, harvesting their fruit in large baskets. However, when the Galactic Empire claimed Biitu for its valuable fuel ore, several of these trees were stripped of foliage and uprooted by the fierce winds produced by a low fly-over of an Imperial craft. These orchards later became barren as an Imperial "moisture eater" drained all moisture from the atmosphere and caused a drought. However, resistance from the Biituian Fidge and his pet Chubb, the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, and the merchant Mungo Baobab led to the destruction of the moisture eater and the defeat of Imperial forces. The return of moisture allowed the fruit trees to grow again, and the Biituians utilized captured Imperials to restore the crops.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The trees appeared in The Great Heep, a 1986 television movie serving as a tie-in to the the Star Wars: Droids animated television series.^[1]
