Gildergreen

Born from the branches of the Eldergleam Tree, the Gildergreen is a tree that stands in the center of Whiterun, near the Temple of Kynareth. Followers of Kynareth revere the plant for its relation to the Eldergleam.
==Background==
==Interactions==
===The Blessings of Nature===
The tree was struck by lightning and badly burnt. Danica Pure-Spring, a priestess of Kynareth, asks the Dragonborn to retrieve sap from the Eldergleam Tree in order to restore the Gildergreen, which drew donations from pilgrims.
After retrieving Eldergleam Sap (or using the sapling from Maurice Jondrelle), the tree is restored. While wandering the roads between the Eldergleam Sanctuary and Whiterun, the Dragonborn may randomly encounter several priestesses of Kynareth making a pilgrimage to the newly restored Gildergreen.
Following "Battle for Whiterun," parts of the white decorative structure around the Gildergreen are ruined and destroyed.

==Trivia==
*This tree has similarities to the Lord of the Rings White Tree of Gondor. Both trees stand at the center of a major city (Whiterun and Minas Tirith), descend from an ancestral tree (Telperion, one of the Trees of the Valar, and the Eldergleam Tree), and are both restored during the story.
*The tree is circled by Temple of Kynareth, Jorrvaskr, Shrine of Talos, Heimskr's House, and House Gray-Mane.
*According to Ardwen, eating the fruit from the tree can supposedly add years to your life. However, no such fruit can be found.
==Bugs==
* If the Eldergleam Sapling is given to Danica, it may not actually replace the tree, and the Gildergreen may only partially bloom.
