Tolkien Trivia: Silmarillion book thread

[Indis]

Sauron killed Nimloth, the White Tree of Numenor not long before the Akallabeth. How did there come to be a White Tree in Middle Earth, when Nimloth had been destroyed?

[Ancalagon]

If I remember correctly, Isildur snuck in and stole a fruit from Nimloth before Sauron succeeded in having it cut down. Then he brought it with him to Middle-earth when he and most of the rest of his family fled Numenor.

[Indis]

Right, though it was a sapling by the time they took it to Middle Earth. Your turn, Ancalagon.
