The meaning of Sycamore in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

more properly sycomore (Heb. shikmoth and shikmim, Gr. sycomoros), a tree which in its general character resembles the fig-tree, while its leaves resemble those of the mulberry; hence it is called the fig-mulberry (Ficus sycomorus). At Jericho, Zacchaeus climbed a sycomore-tree to see Jesus as he passed by (Luke 19:4). This tree was easily destroyed by frost (Psalms 78:47), and therefore it is found mostly in the "vale" (I Kings 10:27; 2Chr 1:15: in both passages the RSV has properly "lowland"), i.e., the "low country," the shephelah, where the climate is mild. (Amos 7:14) refers to its fruit, which is of an inferior character; so also probably (Jeremiah 24:2). It is to be distinguished from our sycamore (the Acer pseudo-platanus), which is a species of maple often called a plane-tree.
