Mouth got it right! Your turn.
And the answer was Lorien. I don't wanna explain what I did wrong but the question was wrong. And the greatest Kingdom of Men is Gondor. I know I've read it somewhere.

Something to do with Elrond and Celebrien then.
Reversing the question seems to make more sense out of it. lol
Aure entuluva!
it's been a couple of days and no one has even attempted your question, do you think you should post another?
Perhaps... Would like to see if either Macilrille or Ngugi can get it first though before I post another one.
Edit: Ok Ngugi refused (Despite my attempts to convince him ).
Is it possible for both of them to be stumped? If you stump both of them I'll give you this much rep:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
What was the source of that anyway?
How many generations removed from the "original" white tree, Galithilion from the elven city of Tirion, is the white tree that Aragorn finds and plants in Minas Tirith at the end of RoTK?
Well the elves gave the first White Tree of the men to the numenoreans, so that's one. Then Isildur stole a flower or something and planted the one we know best in Minas Tirith (2). The one Aragorn found must've been from Isildur's one, so I say 3
I think 4 but I don't have any of my books so I can't confirm. Anyway that's my guess.
Getting warmer. Comon guys, stop guessing numbers and look it up.
And people wonder why I normally require a full list on this type of question.
Educated or lucky guess, 6 it is.
The first white tree was Galithilion, made by Yavanna for the elves of Tirion. A sapling from that tree was planted on Tol Eressea and became the tree Celeborn (1). A sapling from that tree was given to the Numenoreans and became Nimloth, the white tree of Numenor (2). Isildur saved a fruit of that tree when Sauron convinced Ar-Pharazon to cut it down, which was ultimately carried to Middle Earth and planted in Minas Ithil (3). That tree was destroyed in the War of the Last Alliance, but Isildur brought a sapling to Minas Anor and planted it there (4). That tree died during the great plague in Gondor in TA 1636, and a new sapling was planted in its place (5). That tree died in TA 2852, and no sapling was found until the one found by Aragorn and Gandalf in RoTK (6).
Your turn Gallus.
7 I think?
