Olive trees. The olive tree was cultivated in Palestine in olive yards. The olive was highly valued not only as the whole fruit but also for its oil. The oil was used in cooking and seasoning, also burned in lamps, and used as an ointment.

Sycomore trees. These were the sycamore figs. They were abundant in the lowlands of Judah and were also found in the Jordan valley.
