White Tree of Gondor

edit

Shouldn't this be at least mentioned here? Good ref. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:36, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hm, I see what you mean. I've looked through the article again, and can see exactly why I didn't include it. It doesn't really fit into this article as a species of plant; nor are its connotations in the least botanical. The article isn't a list, either. Probably best to stay as we are on this one.

@Chiswick Chap Still, can't we find a place to mention it in a single sentence? It does seem like a significant ommission to me. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:28, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
I'm extremely reluctant to bolt on "a single sentence" as that would inevitably be of the form "And another plant of importance is..." which is the worst sort of piecemeal list-construction. I've added a section on symbolism; this obviously overlaps with the Christianity article and the Two Trees of Valinor, but there it is. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:58, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Excellent, that addresses my concerns. Wonderful job as always! Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:56, 4 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
