Why should it be visible at all? It's on another plane of existence. Each of those green strands within each of those green branches and trunk segments are a different timeline. This isn't even in the same dimension as NWH.

Sorry, I don’t quite understand
Void_Warden2026-01-15 14:10
Take the NWH (main timeline). That timeline is a but single green line in all of that tree. So, there's definitely a question of scale. If it was just a question of size, people in 616 wouldn't see the tree for the same reason we don't see our whole universe.
More importantly, the tree is above time itself since each green line is the entirety of the timeline, not just present-day. So the characters within 616 can't see the tree for the same reason we can't see all of space-time: we lack the dimensional awareness to be able to perceive time beyond our memories and immediate present.

Why exactly would it need to be visible in NWH, or to anyone outside of the TVA?
New-Wolverine75432026-01-15 14:07
Why would it be visible? The tree isn't in space lol

If I recall, No Way Home happens before S2 of Loki, so it wouldn’t look the same.
Desperate-Mango-84142026-01-15 14:11
But it can’t. I recently just learned this. Steve, the one we see in trailer 1, would’ve been printed by the TVA if it weren’t for Loki.
ExtensionIcy87302026-01-15 14:09
All of the incidents in no way home happened in a timeline but if you want too the world tree of loki you have to be outside of any timeline.
Aromatic-Cupcake48022026-01-15 14:09
Loki is sat on his throne at the End of Time, outside of all the universes. It’s not visible to anyone expect Loki, the Watcher and the TVA.
Desperate-Mango-84142026-01-15 14:14
This is the best explanation and not make me sound I no like an idiot.
penguin_23062026-01-15 14:17
Why would it be visible? NWH was on Earth, Loki was above the multiverse itself. That's like asking why can't you see the entire mansion when you're only inside one room.
Desperate-Mango-84142026-01-15 14:18
OMG CALM DOWN I GET IT I WAS WRONG
EEDDDWWWAARRRD2026-01-15 14:18
Are you talking about when we were seeing the dimensional rift?
If so, I'd say it's because the tree is encompassing the entire Marvel multiverse. If you could say we're seeing a part of the tree, it's likely the tiniest fraction of it.
The way I see it, the trunk of the tree represents the basic events of what we would define as a *Marvel* universe. From there, each branch represents its own timeline. The "Sacred Timeline" was a specific branch that Kang isolated and pretty much snipped anything outside of that and the base of the tree.
Some fun hypotheticals: If we want to encompass something larger than the Marvel universe, let's say the "tree" is actually a part of something shaped more like a snowflake with the tree branching off from the center. From there we could encompass the DC universe, Dark Horse, real world, etc. Not to mention the debates on whether or not the actual Marvel comics could be considered the same multiverse as the MCU. You could say that is its own tree as well.
Sorry for my little tangent. Just some fun thoughts haha
Desperate-Mango-84142026-01-15 14:18
Ahh thank you
cesclaveria2026-01-15 14:21
You are way overthinking it.
But ok, let’s continue that path, the tree of the multiverse works on levels and dimensions above what a human mind could begin to comprehend, each branch represents an eternity of a whole universe, the tears and breaches in NWH are minuscule in comparison, impossible to get a proper sense of the scale.
One moment in time in one particular planet of a universe is even smaller than one cell in your left pinky finger trying to make sense of your whole body.

The Loki Tree is the **meta**physical vessel containing all universes and timelines. I would think of the "Bark" as the unknown casing at the edge end rim outside the observable universe. If it even manifests as a solid material substance in any single given universe at all.
Otherwise, like others have said. Its technical location is outside of space and time as well.

The spell opened holes directly to other realities (and specifically to ones realted to Peter Parker) not to the multiverse as a whole.
Desperate-Mango-84142026-01-16 00:49
This is the best explanation, THANK YOU

No way home is happening while the loom is breaking but before the tree
