Galathilion, the White Tree made by Yavanna for the Elves of the city of Tirion and a descendant of Telperion although it gave no light.
Known as the Tree of Tuna[1] and the Tree of Tirion,[2] it grew in a high open courtyard beneath the Mindon Eldaliéva. It had many seedlings in Eldamar.
From it came Celeborn, the White Tree of Tol Eressëa;[3] through which it became the ancestor of Nimloth of Númenor and the White Tree of Gondor.[1]
Legolas noted that the Doors of Durin displayed the Tree of the High Elves[4] which probably represented Galathilion.[5][6][7]
