The love of nature and life with trees reduces stress and lets us blossom. If we want to express it in these terms, the Bible has a rather dense stock of trees that starts with the Tree of Life. Whether oak or cedar, cypress or terebinth, pomegranate tree or vine, fig tree or olive tree, date palm or balsam tree, myrrh or frankincense tree – the trees of the Bible carry a message from God for human beings.
