(Sindarin: Fangorn) is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fantasy writings. The eldest of the species of Ents, he is said to live in the ancient Forest of Fangorn and stands fourteen feet in height and is tree-like in appearance, with leafy hair and a rigid structure. Fangorn Forest lies next to Isengard where Saruman the White resides. His motto is, "Don't be hasty."
In the The Two Towers he meets with Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took, two Hobbits of the Shire known also as Merry and Pippin. Treebeard is known to have a strong hatred of Orcs, and, after Saruman's betrayal of the Ents, of Saruman as well.
In Our World
Muir was a nurseryman. His family had owned the land where the park is situated from 1928. When the Muir Estate was subdivided by Christchurch Suburban Estates, the land was offered to the council as the reserve contribution. Efforts were made in 1973-1974 and 1979 to save the 10-room wooden homestead on the land for use as a community centre but it was demolished in 1979. In 1983 the park was declared a “passive” area with a playground for small children only. A number of trees and shrubs were removed and others reduced in size during 2014. Still a lovely place to sit and relax.
