Nimloth was a gift from the Elves of Tol Eressëa to the King of Númenor, a seedling of Celeborn and Galathilion, an image of Telperion that was.

During the reign of Ar-Gimilzôr, the tree was neglected and fell into decline but when his successor Tar-Palantir came to the throne it was again tended. The king prophesied that if Nimloth was destroyed then the line of the House of Elros would end.
