What does the Bible say about Jesus as the 'Apple-tree'?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible uses the metaphor of an Apple-tree to illustrate Christ's unique beauty, sweetness, and the abundant grace he provides.

In Song of Solomon 2:3, Christ is compared to an Apple-tree among the trees of the wood. This simile emphasizes both his preeminence among creation and the delight he provides to those who seek refuge under his shadow. Just as an Apple-tree is fruitful and valuable to its owner, Christ yields glory to God and infinite profit to his people through his grace. His fruit is sweet and satisfying, offering comfort and peace to all believers who partake of it.
Scripture References: Song 2:3, John 1:14, John 1:16
