Celeborn of Aman

This article is about the White Tree of Tol Eressëa. For the husband of Galadriel, see Celeborn.

Celeborn was the scion of the tree Galathilion, planted in Tol Eressëa where it flourished.[1] During the Second Age, the Elves of Tol Eressëa brought one of Celeborn's seedlings to Númenor, which would grow into Nimloth, the White Tree of Númenor.[2]

Etymology

The name Celeborn consists of the Sindarin terms celeb ("silver") and orn ("tree").
