History[edit | edit source]

The field was covered with tents and pavilions; underneath the largest pavilion was a decorated tree that stood at the head of the table, where Bilbo made his farewell speech.[1]
After the destruction of the Party Tree by Sharkey and his Ruffians,[2] Samwise Gamgee planted a mallorn tree, upon his return from the Quest of the Ring[3] and it blossomed on 6 April T.A. 3020[4] Afterwards it was used for holidays and celebrations by the Hobbits of that region including a new holiday celebrated on April 6.[note 1][5]
