This is the Sycamore Tree from Jesus time when he was just crossing from trans Jordan to Jerusalem, and he stopped to talk with group of people, Zaccheus, the Tax collectors, invited him to spend that night in his home, Jesus agreed, then Zaccheus gave half of his wealth to the poor people.

A trip to Jericho is not complete without a stop at Zacchaeus' sycamores. Even if neither tree is the very same one that Zacchaeus climbed, it is still interesting to see an ancient tree while reflecting on Jesus' meeting with Zacchaeus. There is another tree at the Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Prophet Elisha and they also have an old dry stump in a glass enclosure. The monastery and the museum are in the same area so it is worth seeing both sycamore tree sites, if the monastery is open.
