'Tree' in the Bible

After noticing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it. When he came to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered."

"Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.
