FEBRUARY'S TREE


February’s tree – The Almond Tree or Shaked Matsuy שקד as it’s known in Hebrew

In Israel, almond trees in bloom, the first tree to flower in spring, are the symbol of Tu Bi’Shevat – Israel’s Arbor Day. This is probably how it got its Hebrew name “shaked”, meaning watchful, wakeful, diligent, or alert. Throughout northern and central Israel the white or pink flowers of the almond tree can be seen from afar at this time of the year, bearing the tidings that winter is ending and spring is here.
