The Party Tree was a large tree in the centre of the Party Field, south of Bag End in Hobbiton. It was presumably either a beech or oak, as many other trees were in the Shire. A pavilion was erected around the Party Tree and stood at the head of the main table during Bilbo's Farewell Birthday Party and lanterns were hung in its branches. Bilbo made one of his renowned long speeches under this tree upon his leaving of the Shire.
