Which fictional city is home to the White Tree in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Gondor?

Minas Tirith is the Gondorian city that contains the White Tree in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth.

Minas Tirith is the capital of Gondor during The Lord of the Rings. It stands on seven levels beneath Mount Mindolluin and is protected by walls, gates, and the Citadel at its summit. The White Tree grows in the Court of the Fountain within the Citadel.

The tree is a symbol of Gondor’s royal line and descends from the White Tree of Númenor. During the War of the Ring, the old tree is dead, but Aragorn later finds a living sapling on Mount Mindolluin. Its discovery marks the renewal of the kingdom after Sauron’s defeat.

Minas Tirith was formerly called Minas Anor, meaning “Tower of the Setting Sun.” Minas Morgul, by contrast, is the corrupted city formerly known as Minas Ithil. Osgiliath was Gondor’s earlier capital, while Edoras is the capital of Rohan.
