Galathilion was a tree grown by the Vala Yavanna from a seed of Telperion, but unlike Telperion, it bore no light. It stood in the open courtyard beneath the Mindon Eldaliéva in Tirion, in Valinor.
From this tree came Celeborn of Tol Eressëa, and from that came, much later, Nimloth of Númenor and the White Tree of Gondor.[1]
Etymology[]
The name Galathilion means "White tree-moon". It had many other names, including the White Tree, Tree of Silver, Tree of the High Elves, Tree of Túna, and Tree of Tirion.
