I think the tree of harmony and the together trees are related

[Music_Call 8]

The together trees in g5 are kinda weird, they're connected to cutie mark magic, are able to communicate with each other (make friends with each other?), and are able to teleport ponies off to other trees or distance lands

The tree of harmony is also weird, connected to a group of ponies, being able to make a huge castle, and sending off ponies on friendship quest using their cutie marks and a map

The trees are all for friendship and the harmony that it brings, even trying to spread through quest and stuff. I honestly think, for an in universe explanation, that the tree of harmony might've become the together trees after the fall of g4 equestria

Like idk maybe the tree of harmony is still there (I haven't read any of the g5 comics yet so maybe they do talk about it there) (also I am ignoring the 'knights of harmony' thing from the g4 comics) but I just think it would be fun if the two were connected

Anyway what do y'all think?

There's definitely shared concepts between the two, aside from the obvious (they're trees), they're both shown to be very sentient, although, in FiM it was to the point of projecting a spiritual form of itself (in the form of Twilight), something the G5 trees can't do, and I think it's because they're not as powerful as the G4 tree, I like to imagine it's because the power is divided into 3(4) different trees in different locations, so it's strength can't be used to its full extent, plus society is still too imperfect in G5, the pones were very racist to each other not very long ago with a lot of untrust going on, their numbers decreased (supposedly) and it took a good while for Misty to go to the good side and complete the mane six, that probably complicated/slowed down the growth of these trees and also held their power back. Yet the one in Opalina's castle was strong enough to imprison her (and maybe kill her?) and completely destroy everything.

So the together trees could be the remnants of it, but there is one thing that could be a elephant in the room, which is the Tree that shows up in A New Generation, it was confirmed by one of the movie's artist that it is the Ne-o Tree of Harmony, just without the buildings. Of course, that was never explained in-universe and no one else from the official team ever confirmed it, so maybe we shouldn't take that statement too seriously, but in case it's true, we just never saw that tree ever again, so there's the possibility some major retcon was made, or maybe it could be an theory that I have, which is that the trees can become carcasses, basically normal trees with no power or magic or anything, its power, after a long time had passed, must have been transferred to Opaline's tree at the exact moment it was planted, after all, the old tree was connected to a group of friends that are probably not even alive anymore, so that's why it lost its power and that power had to be reborn through new beings (Misty & Opaline) and through new roots, but that's just my personal crazy headcanon, currently, the tree from A New Generation was completely forgotten after the film, and the trees from Make Your Mark have not been relevant since Opaline's defeat, my bet is that by the end of the Opaline Arc, society has managed to get back on its feet again and regain ultimate harmony and that's why the Opaline tree was so op, with everything being peaceful now, I believe that the trees are now just doing the work of protecting the different locations, the way the story of G5 is going now I highly doubt that they will try to delve deeper into the trees or try to explain more about how they work.

There’s no doubt in my mind

According to mdash, the prominent G5 leaker who revealed MYM's chapter release dates, the Together Trees are Trees of Harmony. For the uninformed, I meant to say "Trees of Harmony", not "the Tree of Harmony". The FiM Season 10 comics introduced multiple Trees of Harmony to the series.

And of course they are now know as Together Trees instead of Trees of Harmony makes sense, as the trees’ original name may easily been lost to history
