Also known as: Nimloth The Fair
Nimloth the Fair was the White Tree of Numenor that grew in the King's court at Armenelos, descended from Galathilion and so from Telperion of the Two Trees, and held as a sign of the friendship of the Eldar and the favour of the Valar. When Sauron turned the Numenoreans to the worship of the Dark, he urged that the Tree be cut down and burned; but Isildur, at the peril of his life, stole into the guarded court and bore away a fruit of Nimloth before it was felled. From that saved fruit grew the White Trees of Gondor in the lands of exile.
