ManaMinori 4,145 October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 (edited) I doubt that it has always existed, before time and space, and is not a god,though it is shown to be sentient and omnipotent. So how do you guys think k the tree came about? Harmonic convergence timed with a prehistoric sonic rainboom that created the rainbow of light and the tree of harmony, simultaneously? An ancestor or split persona of Discord? Zacherlecorn interference? ponies on a higher dimension than the plane g4 ponies exist on?

Midnight Seashell 206 October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 l like to think that there was another Draconiquis before or at the same time as Discord who was the spirit of harmony and used his or her powers to create the Tree of harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleks 1,993 October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 (edited) One the one hand, as a complex and apparently sentient being, the tree of harmony could have evolved over the millennia, so it does not need a creator – just the forces of gravity and harmony (yeah, sounds ridiculous). It may be an embodyment of Harmony and Destiny, as the latter is certainly a thing in MLP universe. On the other hand, it’s likely to be an artificial thing. Maybe even some sort of supercomputer with a very advanced AI. Considering that it was Star Swirl the Bearded who showed the tree to the royal sisters, it may be one of his creations, programmed to keep harmony and protect Equestria.Correction: the tree was a legendary thing already by Star Swirl's time, but we know very little about the wizard - he could be very old as well, and he may have hidden some of the truth from the sisters.

Unlikeable Pony 2,698 October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 I like to think that it was Planted at the center of equestria by the creator deity of equestria, kind of like the tree of good/evil at the center of eden. Most probably, since it seems needed to contain the chaos of the everfree forest, something was buried or imprisoned beneath the everfree forest and the tree of harmony planted overtop IMO.

They call me Loyalty 1,948 October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 Perhaps it's a quantic formula to keep space-coherence and reality at balance. By means of certain behavioral patterns which ensure conscious development on life forms.The physic tree might had have an origin, but the encoded pattern of its ideal form is indefinitive. Existing without time and perception. Formless and undefined.It manifests in different ways, like it happens throughout the show. And its elemental composition is defined by the catalyst known as chaos.Through chaos comes challenge, growth, and self-discovery on said life forms. In this case, the main protagonists.I do believe the tree of harmony is all things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGrimoire 4,973 October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 Considering the tree seems to foretell their destinies and seems to be of a prophetic nature, I would guess it was planted by some Equestrian deity of a type. It may even be a deity to itself, and unable to communicate in the normal way most of us do. Starswirl may have had something to do with it, but I get the feeling he did not, and that it predates even him. I like to think we will get more answers next season... maybe some stuff relating to Celestia and the past and more information on Starswrirl and the beginnings of the Tree/Elements of Harmony. If nothing else, maybe the movie will unlock some of those riddles. ~No profound statement needed~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,959 October 30, 2016 Share October 30, 2016 I think that it was always been in Equestria as a powerful force of harmony magic. I like the interpretation of it being Equestria's version of Yggdrasil from Norse mythology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Season 617 October 30, 2016 Share October 30, 2016 It has the cutie mark of each of the alicorns that live there. So either it is a sentient life form that can see into the future or someone from the present time frame went back in time to plant it. The Crystal Heart is also similar that it is Cadince's cutie mark. So I feel more like either they both were made from a prophecy made or a time traveling pony.

Baykush 328 October 30, 2016 Share October 30, 2016 (edited) The tree of harmony is the only thing powerful enough to defeat any evil magic, and the first time that kind of magic was used was when the Windigoes were defeated, so even if they didn't directly use the elements I'd say that event was possible because of the tree, so it's something that probably already existed. Another possibility is that it was created in that very moment, the tree has the power to turn ponies into alicorns so it's related to pony magic and not just friendship magic. Maybe it already existed but it was inactive or perhaps it was just a sprout that started growing when ponies settled in Equestria and started living in harmony, or it didn't exist and that event was the seed.

Luminance 2,186 October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 The first Alicorn to ever became had 5 friends that she loved very dearly. After each of them passed due to time, she preserved a keepsake of their spirit in different crystals forged be her power to remember them by. As time went on she created the tree to store the keepsakes and eventually her time has come and she bestowed herself to be the final element on the tree.

Nightmare Season 617 October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 except Cadence, so is she an anomaly? Well Celestia, Luna, and Twilight lives in Equestria with the tree. Cadence now lives in the Crystal Empire with the heart. I feel the major crystals represents what Alicorns will be where...

RivkaBobble 110 October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 I personally think it was made from the events in the Hearth's Warming play (so sorry I didn't remember the name of the episode ). I mean, they both happen in a cave, and we have no proof that the ponies hid out in a cave very far from Ponyville. As what happened in the cave is our first recorded instance of "friendship" in the whole franchise, I think it's very likely that the two events are linked in some way!
