What is a Chestnut tree?
CHESTNUT TREE
Gen 30:37. Doubtless the translation here should be "plane tree" (Platanus orientalis). This tree closely resembles the well known American species which we call sycamore or buttonwood (Platanus occidentalis). The Oriental tree grows along streams in the north of Palestine, and when long spared attains great size. Eze 31:8.
