Smith's Bible Dictionary
Chestnut Tree. (Hebrew, '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).
