Nimloth (Sindarin for 'white blossom'), was the name of the White Tree of Númenor.
It grew in the King's Court in the royal palace in the capital city of Armenelos.
[edit] History
During the reign of Ar-Gimilzôr, the tree was neglected and fell into decline but when his successor Tar-Palantir came to the throne it was again tended. Later, sometime after SA 3262 when Sauron had the ear of the powerful king Ar-Pharazôn and after someone stole one of its fruits, the White Tree was felled and used as kindling in the Temple.
[edit] Ancestors
A seedling of Nimloth was saved by Elendil and replanted in Middle-earth, becoming the "White Tree of Gondor".
