CHESTNUT TREE

← Back to Smith's Bible Dictionary

CHESTNUT TREE: (Heb. ’armon .) (Genesis 30:37; Ezekiel 31:8) Probably the "palm tree" (Platanus orientalis) is intended. This tree thrives best in low and rather moist situations in the north of Palestine, and resembles our sycamore or buttonwood (Platanus occidentalis).
