What are your theories about it?

That secretly, its Hasbro's discarded garbage
That it's the Element ofMerchandising
>>25325609
It's their god.
>>25325609
That anything after Return of Harmony part 2 is noncanon.
>>25325609
It's Destiny.
Or just some ancient magical artifacts created by some ancient pony race who's origin and existence has been lost through time but had some sort of future telling powers which told them to create these things to ensure the survival of their descendants thousands of years into the future.
Well a lot of the lore is inspired by Greek mythology, what if the tree came from an Apollo and Daphne type event?
>>25325718
Something like this.
>>25325609
It became a castle didn't it?
>>25325609
I have a theory.
It might sound completely preposterous but here it is.
I think each of the branches... represents each of the mane 6.
>>25325609
My personal theory is that the Tree of Harmony is a World Tree.
Like Yggdrasil.
Only, like, a different type of World Tree as it is short and crystal, instead of wood and just about beyond actual scale.

No, the chest did

Its the physical manifestation of the origin point of Harmony in their realm. Harmony itself might have once taken root and spread through a system running all throughout Equestria.
Its why the box spawned from it (and the playset that followed) brought the Cutie Map into play - to further instruct the bearers of its fruit to spread Harmony where it no longer could reach.
>>25325959
oh yeah
>>25325609
The Elements of Harmony will return in Season 6.
>>25325609
The Tree of Harmony will be gone but the Elements of Harmony will return in Season 6.

My nigga. Though honestly, I'll go as far as anything before the s2 finale.
>>25325697
But Celestia and Luna clearly always ruled and created Equestria! And they're not ponies, even though in the first Faust-written ep they're explicitly referred to as such!

Shut Up, faggot! We have the rights to type our comments!
>>25331250
You mean spam wish fulfillment?
>>25331270
Yeah.
>>25325609
It's some sort of sapient tree.
