The Hesperides were Dryads (nymphs) who guarded and tended the Tree of Golden Apples. This Tree may be placed anywhere you wish, and you may summon the <link="proto:Dryad">Dryads</link> to protect it, though only six Dryads at a time may be summoned. If an enemy has more units or buildings near the Tree than you, then you will lose control of the Tree and the enemy will gain the ability to summon the Hesperides. The Tree also blocks the use of  <link="topic:God Powers">God Powers</link>, so place the Tree of Golden Apples carefully and defend it well.

To plant the Tree of Golden Apples, left-click the Hesperides icon, and then left-click where you want the Tree to grow.
