Palm trees hold a large place in these verses: created for the benefit of Allah’s servants, they serve in comparisons and appear in the story of Mary. Other trees are mentioned too: the tree forbidden to Adam, called the tree of eternity, the tree of Zaqqum, the blessed tree, the one from which Moses was called and Jonah’s gourd plant, as well as the green tree from which Allah brings forth fire.

And [remember, O Muḥammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people." And We did not make the sight which We showed you except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur’ān. And We threaten [i.e., warn] them, but it increases them not except in great transgression.
