#gold trees

I spend so much time driving around Colorado lately that I practically live out of my Jeep, but there’s not much to complain about.

YA’LL! So I’ve been rereading The Magician’s Nephew (because why not? I may be an adult, but I’ve also hit a writer’s block and need inspo) AND…

“One was a young tree that seemed to be made of gold; the second was a young tree that seemed to be made of silver,” (Ch. 14).

“It had of course sprung up from the half-sovereigns which had fallen out of Uncle Andrew's pocket when he was turned upside down; just as the silver had grown up from the half-crowns,” (Ch. 14).

So you mean to tell me there were trees made from actual silver and gold in Narnia?? How long did they grow? Did they survive 900 years like the Tree of Protection? Did they survive the 100 Year Winter? It would certainly explain why none of the Narnians seemed to have jobs, yet they have no problems (as one critic said). Did they survive til the end of the Age? Please… I need answers for this!! Anyone else curious?
