The True Era Tree (真時代樹, Shin Jidai-ju) is a concept in Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki. It refers to the Era Trees and their connection to the Infinity.

The concept of the True Era Tree was first revealed to the Company when the hero and Regius found it mentioned in books at the Tower of Zoe. These books described how frequent use of the regular Era Trees had empowered the True Era Tree, causing the purging of Teras Pharma from the timeline.
Later, both Zephon and Yuyudraya would elaborate on the idea further. The True Era Tree was a representation of the Infinity itself, its endless branches from past to present to future and the myriad possibilities within being used as a metaphor. The old empire that originally created the Teras Pharma had concluded that the 108 Stars were empowered by the True Era Tree. The Teras Pharma were also said to have fed off the True Era Tree in some manner.
In the deepest reaches of the Yggdrasilian Palace there also lay the first Era Tree. Though unique in that it allowed travel 300 years back to HIY 0, it was not the True Era Tree.
