One could say the Bible (both the Hebrew and the Greek, the Old and the New Testaments) revolves around certain trees. Whereas typology understands Christ’s Cross as being the new and true Tree of Life (Christ himself being the fruit of this tree), and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is often thought of as being an apple tree because of a certain medieval pun (mālum, Latin for apple, is quite close to malum, “evil”), fig trees don’t seem to have a defined symbolism of their own. Sure, the expression “fig leaf” is commonly used figuratively to imply one is covering something shameful with a relatively innocuous thing (in a clear reference to the book of Genesis, where we find Adam and Eve using fig leaves to cover their nudity after they ate the forbidden fruit), but that tells us nothing about any biblical symbolism attributed to fig trees themselves.

Interestingly, the fig is the third kind of tree mentioned by its name in the Bible, right after these other two trees (that is, that of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil). But fig trees are actually almost everywhere. In Deuteronomy, the promised land is described as a land “of vines, fig trees, and pomegranates.” In the Song of Solomon, the fig tree gives its fruit early “in the year of love.” In the second book of Kings, the Assyrian commander offered every deserter from the army of Jerusalem “his own vine and fig tree.” It can be seen then that the fig tree, in the Bible, indicates prosperity. Having one’s own fig tree is, then, a signal of personal wealth and well-being. Then why would Jesus curse the fig tree, as we see is the case in the gospels of Matthew and Mark? Or why would the owner of a fig tree, as that of the parable, want to cut it down?

If a fig tree is a symbol of prosperity and personal wealth, a barren fig tree is then its antithesis. That much is clear. Jesus’ cursing of the barren fig tree has been read as an affirmation of Jesus’ divinity, which is expressed in his having dominion and authority over nature, sure, but there is another reading that follows this symbolism and relates it to a certain kind of wealth. If prosperity is conceived of as related to the abundance of fruits from the fig tree, spiritual prosperity is related to one’s own “good fruit,” that is, the good actions of the faithful. Just as Adam and Eve used the fig trees to cover their nudity (as they felt shame and embarrassment), when we don’t give any kind of spiritual fruit we are in fact left with nothing but “leaves,” a “barren” outward appearance that tries to “cover” the fact that we are not producing anything for God or our neighbor.

Let us not forget another prominent tree, the Olive Tree as olives figure often in the Bible/Scriptures, particularly Olive Oil.

One link about trees in the Bible      and        Another Link about Bible Trees

Don't forget the Sycamore Tree whom Zacchaeus climbed to see Christ.  Some though do attribute this to a Fig tree also.  There is also speculation about the type of tree that Noah used the wood from to build the ark.  It is said to be Gopher wood (Genesis 6:14) but there wasn't a Gopher tree.  Some have theorized that the terminology for what the actual wood was changed after the flood to give the tree another name and others believe that potentially the tree ceased to exist after it served its purpose, that of serving as a source for wood for the ark.  

Also don't forget another tree which is called the "Judas tree" or the tree that Judas is said to have hung himself from.  Although mentioned once it had a great significance in Scripture being the tree that Judas hanged himself from.  And then there was what would be one of the most infamous trees and that is the tree from which the Cross of Christ was made from.  The only thing is no one knows for sure what kind of wood it was made from.  There are those who guess and some who theorize that it came from at least three, possibly four, different types of trees, cypress, cedar, pine, and possibly box, but on one knows for sure.  It is basically from tradition that certain woods are theorized and even some people claim it was dogwood.  It would have had to have been sturdy enough to carry the weight of a person though and Oak is said to have been a common tree in Palastine so it could have easily been made of Oak for Oak is very strong.  Fact is that we will continue to have to speculate because no one knows for sure.
