Jedi Tree

OnACanonArticle

"Even the oldest of them all, the sacred Jedi Tree here on Ahch-To, has finally been reduced to ashes."
―Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, The Secrets of the Jedi[3]

The Jedi Tree was a sacred[3] centuries-old[2] Force-sensitive[4] uneti tree that grew on the Temple Island of the planet Ahch-To. Once upon a time the tree was massive, but over time it withered away, and all that remained of it[1] by 34 ABY[5] was an ancient, mossy husk, with an opening, carved by weather and time.[1] Three pulpy offshoots stood guard around a gigantic central trunk, with the tops splintered like jagged crowns, without any foliage or branches. Only moss grew on the ashen bark.[6] It was accessible by a stairway that led from the first Jedi Temple to the tree.[2] After Rey left Ahch-To for the Crait system[7] in 34 ABY,[5] Skywalker attempted to burn the tree down, but was intercepted by the Force spirit of Yoda, who summoned a lightning strike that set the tree ablaze.[7] Shortly thereafter, Skywalker included a mention of the Jedi Tree in The Secrets of the Jedi, a book in which he chronicled the history of the Jedi Order.[3]
