The White Tree of Gondor grew in Minas Tirith, and is descended from a sapling brought from Númenor on Isildur's ship, a descendent of Nimloth the Fair. The first tree was destroyed when Sauron captured Minas Ithil, but Isildur managed to save a sapling.

The second White Tree was planted from the sapling that Isildur saved in Minas Arnor, and lasted until the year T.A. 1636.

Four years later, another sapling is planted by King Tarondor, and it lasts until T.A. 2852. Since no sapling has been found since, it's been left standing.

The White tree used to have white wood, and thin bark, with laurel-like leaves, dark green above and bright silver beneath. In springime, it was covered with numerous white flowers, though the shape of the fruits and whether or not they are edible is something I cannot tell. If the wood is burned, a very dense smoke is given off, capable of burying all of Gondor in darkness for days.
