I apologize if I may not respond individually- my messages box is overloaded and I want to catch up first with devwatch and journals.


There is a longstanding myth that Judas Iscariot hanged himself from a tree of this species. This belief is related to the common name "Judas Tree" which is possibly a corrupted derivation from the French common name, Arbre de Judée meaning tree of Judea, referring to a region where the tree occurs.[link]

In Israel it is the second tree which blooms in spring(the first is the almond) and is the symbol of the season, as a line in a song says"the Judea tree tells me of spring"[link]
