Telperion's Successors

Throughout the first half of The Silmarillion, readers are often reminded of the great influence held by the two trees of Valinor: Telperion and Laurelin. The two are seen as having equal influence, with the light of each playing an equally important role in the creation of the world and their waxing and waning set to equal amounts of time. But the further through The Silmarillion we get, the more I think about Telperion and by extension, Laurelin. 

We are told in The Silmarillion that after the destruction of the two trees, and after their last blossoms are placed in the sky as the sun and moon, Yavanna makes a tree identical to Telperion in the city of Tirion. A seedling of this tree was planted on the isle of Tol Eressea and it was called Celeborn. In the second age, a seedling of Celeborn was brought as a gift to the men of Numenor, where it was called Nimloth. Nimloth was chopped down by Sauron and Ar-Pharazon, but a single fruit was saved and brought to Middle-earth by Isildur. Isildur then planted the fruit where he planted his empire and proclaimed it the White Tree of Gondor. 

Unlike Telperion, Laurelin has no literary "successors" and her image is never recreated by the Valar again. Occasionally, characters will describe Idril as having hair, "as the gold of Laurelin before the coming of Melkor," but the tree itself is never duplicated. 

My question to you is this: what is it about Telperion that inspires imitation from the Valar and from others? Why doesn't Laurelin inspire the same level of reverence? Is it the kind of light Telperion emits, or does it stand for something completely different? Perhaps it has to do with Telperion's connection with the moon and the waxing and waning of life on Middle-earth, but I'd like to open the floor to your interpretations.
