Mythical plant of the Medieval world: gigantic tree which grew in the desolated area where once stood Sodom & Gamorrah. Any traveler of the region foolish enough to pick one of the apples would have it turn to smoke and ashes in his hand - a sure sign of God's eternal displeasure with those who would succumb to physical temptation at the site of His retribution
