Ibn Sirin said that good trees symbolize good words and bad trees symbolize bad words, for Allah says:
“HAVE YOU not considered the parable that Allah makes of the good word? [Det goda ordet] is like a strong and healthy tree, firmly rooted, stretching its branches towards the sky – [ett träd] which, according to the will of its Lord, bears fruit continually. Allah presents [Sina] parables to people for [väcka dem till] reflection.
But the bad word is like a bad, diseased tree, uprooted from the earth – it has no root.” [ibrahim:24]
All fruitless trees symbolize poor people who have no money.
To be seen picking anything other than fruit from a tree symbolizes acquiring money in a forbidden way.
If you see a tree bearing fruit other than its original fruit, it symbolizes a married woman bearing another man’s child.
If the tree is in his possession, it is his own wife.
Cutting down a tree can symbolize that you are going to kill someone or it can indicate that the person who cut down the tree or his family is suffering from a disease. Or it could symbolize a boycott between the owner of the tree and the person who cut it down.

If the person is unmarried, it symbolizes that he will get married.
The benefit you will get from the tree symbolized is measured in the benefit of the tree you have seen.
If the tree is close to budding and bearing fruit, it indicates that the good that the tree symbolizes will come in the near future.
If the tree has lost its fruits and leaves, it indicates a longer wait.
If the tree’s fruits are easy to pick, what the tree symbolizes will come to you easily and without hassle.
On the other hand, if its fruits are hard to reach, prickly, bitter or rotten, it describes the person the tree symbolizes as stingy, difficult to deal with or a person with forbidden assets.
Different fruits gathered in one place indicate a pleasant profit and benefit.
The more scattered the fruits are, the more difficult it will be to collect these gains.

If it is a businessman who sows the tree, it may symbolize that he is doing a waqf [Waqf is doing a charity whose benefit is ongoing, like digging a well for the needy].
But if you see yourself planting a bad tree, or sowing it in a tight spot, it suggests the opposite.
Seeing yourself planting a plant during a time/season it usually does not grow, it suggests that the good or evil the plant symbolizes will not last.
