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][note 1] which probably represented Galathilion.[5][6][7]

Notes
- ↑ Actually the drawing of the Doors, displays a pair of trees flanking the composition, not a sole tree; unless they are both taken to symbolize the "Tree of the High Elves".
