== Description ==
[[File: Minas Tirith White Tree.jpg|200px|right]]
<onlyinclude>The '''White Tree''' stands in the center of the [[Citadel]], the Seventh Tier of the White City, a [[landmark]] within [[Minas Tirith]] in [[Old Anórien]]. {{Tooltip Coords|Minas Tirith|65.6S|19.1W}} <br>
It is the symbol of [[Gondor]], and the motif represented upon Gondor's flag and armour.</onlyinclude>

== Lore ==
''The White Tree died in [[Third Age|T.A. 2852]] along with the Steward Belechthor II. No sapling was found to replace it, and so the Dead Tree was left standing. It remains here until [[Gandalf]] and [[Aragorn]] find a sapling on the Mountain and re-plant it in the Citadel after Aragorn has been crowned King in T.A. 3019. The new Tree can be seen in the Court of the Fountain at [[Minas Tirith (Midsummer)|Midsummer]].''

''The White Tree is a symbol along with the Seven Stars, which appears on the Livery of Gondor. With the coming of Aragorn upon the black ships, and the unfurling of his banner at the [[Battle of Pelennor Fields]], the crown of Gondor is used again as part of this livery.
