The trees of wisdom, or Selab trees, were small trees native to Selab, a planet in the isolated Hapes Cluster. Eating the fruit of wisdom trees bestowed increased intelligence on elderly beings; however, some individuals believed the trees to be only a myth. In 8 ABY, Leia Organa was presented with a tree of wisdom as a gift from the Hapes Consortium, part of an attempt to entice her to marry Prince Isolder and become the next Queen Mother of the Cluster. She demurred, although the contact led to the opening of the Hapan borders. The Consortium later gifted a tree of wisdom to the Pesktda Xenobotanical Garden on Garqi, but it was burnt down during the Yuuzhan Vong War.
