3	[[WMG: That wasn't the last truffula seed]]
4	The Onceler had a change of heart but never actually learned how ecology works. That's why he didn't think twice about trying to repopulate the truffula trees from a single seed (which would create a severe genetic bottle-neck even if truffula trees reproduced asexually). He assumed a seed he found in his factory was the last one because the environment outside looked like a barren wasteland. In reality, there was a healthy, diverse seed bank left behind from bar-ba-loots eating the truffula fruits.

6	The seeds remained dormant until conditions were habitable again. Thneedville was clean and well-lit enough but there was no exposed soil until Ted made room for the Onceler's seed. That seed was the first truffula sprout. However, others came up while it was still a sapling. When the people started to reduce their pollution and clean the surrounding areas, more truffulas sprung up outside of Thneedville. None of them were the offspring of the first tree which was still too young to fruit.

9	The boy who gets visited by the Cat in the Hat is Ted's son or other relative, being identical except for hair color. Their fish is a Humming Fish, meaning he can speak and breath out of water because he had already done it, along with the other fish, when leaving the truffula forest. Also, there are regular trees in Cat in the Hat, meaning whatever happened to them for the city to be damaged even when it didn't have the Truffulas (which the Once-ler had never seen before coming to the forest, implying they only existed there), it went back to normal.
