  White Tree of Gondor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tolkien's fantasy universe of Middle-earth, the White Tree of Gondor stood as a symbol of Gondor in the Court of the Fountain in Minas Tirith.
The first White Tree of Gondor came from a fruit that Isildur, at great personal risk, managed to steal from Nimloth the Fair, the White Tree of Númenor, before that one was destroyed at Sauron's insistence.
The dead tree is removed from the court but is placed in the Tombs of the Kings with all the honour that would normally be accorded a fallen monarch.

Then the White Tree wanes, seldom flowers, and bears no fruit "so far as Men knew." After the death of Steward Belecthor II in T.A. 2872, the White Tree at last dies and no seedling is found until Aragorn's discovery on Mindolluin.
That the White Tree of Gondor is intertwined with the destiny of the kingdom is beyond dispute.
This suggests the White Tree is a symbol of the renewal of the allegiance to the true God, Iluvatar, and a turning away from the worship of darkness in the form of Melkor and Sauron.

 Return of the King Countdown Calendar
As has been told before (July 24th), the White Tree of Gondor was decended from the White Tree of Numenor called Nimloth the Fair, which was descended from trees in Valinor that had been made by the Valar in the image of one of the Two Trees of Valinor*, which had been destroyed by Morgoth.
On Numenor, Nimloth was treated as sacred for thousands of years, but as the Kings of Numenor began to gradually turn from their regard for the Valar, and began to desire immortality and ever-increasing power, the care of Nimloth was neglected, to the great concern of the Faithful in Numenor.
This seedling of Nimloth was brought by Elendil and his sons when they escaped the distruction of Numenor, and it was planted in Minas Tirith, where it became an emblem of the Kings of Gondor (hence all the white trees on the livery of Gondor).

In this room, the whole story of The Return of The King is represented in a fresco (fresco reference).The fresco portrays a string of faded images which get restored once each level is won (texture research).These faded images were placed along three strings of roots connected to the White Tree of Gondor (level tree).
The idea is that the further the player progresses in the game, the more s/he "heals" the tree, unlocking the seven stars upon the tree and saving Middle Earth.

Supposedly it was visited by Joseph of Arimethea who stabbed his staff into the ground: it grew on the spot and was preserved.
Sometime later (my memory is weak on this just now) it was cut down by a religious terrorist with a George Washington fetish, and a shoot was used to plant the tree you now see in front of you.
Trees, cutting them and restoring them, were always important to Tolkien (god help you if you encounter an Ent on a cycling tour] and i am sure his familiarity with Glastonbury was the taproot.

As well as the White Tree of Gondor, seven stars are also apparent on the Gondor flags (as pointed out to me by Martin Wells).
In this case these cannot denote the seven rings given to the dwarves, as Gondor is a kingdom of men.
The Cross and the Tree may be inter-changeable symbols, which creates quite a striking parallel between the imagery used by Tolkien and the ancient esoteric symbols that I associate with the Dark Star.
