APPLE TREE, APPLE - A>@ - (Heb. tappuach). Mention of the apple tree occurs in the Authorized Version in (Solomon kjv@2:3; 8:5) and kjv@Joel:1:12 The fruit of this tree is alluded to in kjv@Proverbs:25:11) and kjv@Songs:2:5 kjv@Songs:7:8 It is a difficult matter to say what is the specific tree denoted by the Hebrew word tappuach . ("The apple proper is rare in Syria, and its fruit inferior.") Most modern writers maintain that it is either the quince or the citron; (others speak of the apricot, which is abundant and deliciously perfumed.) The quince had some plausible arguments in its favor. Its fragrance was held in high esteem by the ancients. The quince was sacred to Venus. On the other hand Dr Royle says,"The rich color, fragrant odor and handsome appearance of the citron, whether in flower or in fruit, are particularly suited to the passages of scripture mentioned above." But neither the quince nor the citron nor the apple appears fully to answer to all the scriptural allusions. The orange would answer all the demands of the scriptural passages, and orange trees are found in Palestine; but there does not appear sufficient evidence that this tree was known in the earlier times to the inhabitants of Palestine. The question of identification therefore, must still be left an open one.

Apple @ (Heb. tappuah, meaning "fragrance"). Probably the apricot or quince is intended by the word, as Palestine was too hot for the growth of apples proper. It is enumerated among the most valuable trees of Palestine kjv@Joel:1:12), and frequently referred to in Canticles, and noted for its beauty (2:3-5; 8:5). There is nothing to show that it was the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Dr. Tristram has suggested that the apricot has better claims than any other fruit-tree to be the apple of Scripture. It grows to a height of 30 feet, has a roundish mass of glossy leaves, and bears an orange coloured fruit that gives out a delicious perfume. The "apple of the eye" is the Heb. ishon, meaning manikin, i.e., the pupil of the eye kjv@Proverbs:7:2). (Comp. the promise, kjv@Zechariah:2:8; the prayer, kjv@Psalms:17:8; and its fulfilment, kjv@Deuteronomy:32:10.) The so-called "apple of Sodom" some have supposed to be the Solanum sanctum (Heb. hedek), rendered "brier" (q.v.) in kjv@Micah:7:4, a thorny plant bearing fruit like the potato-apple. This shrub abounds in the Jordan valley. (
