The Party Tree
Great tree in the Party Field of Hobbiton
The Party Tree was a tree in the center of the Party Field south of Bag End.
History
On preparation of the Bilbo's Farewell Party, a pavilion was erected that was large enough to accommodate it and it stood at the head of the main table during the celebration with lanterns hanging from its branches. Bilbo stood underneath the Party Tree when he announced he would be leaving the Shire.
By November of Third Age 3019 the Party Tree had been cut down by Sharkey and his men and was lying on the field. After the Scouring of the Shire, Sam planted the silver nut from the wooden box given to him by Galadriel. In the spring of Third Age 3020, the sapling of a mallorn tree emerged; the Golden Tree was the only mallorn between the mountains and the Sea, and people came from miles around to gaze upon it. The Hobbits of that region held holidays and celebrations around the Mallorn tree.
Inspiration
- The Party Tree may have been inspired by a willow hanging over the mill-pool at Sarehole, Warwickshire, England
