However, when I have Googled 'Tsori' or 'Tsori tree', I only get results about this seed that was cultivated. I would like to research 'Tsori' in old liturature or documentation from what is available to read online but not having much luck. I don't know that tsori has been well documented, aside from a few scattered references to it in biblical texts. There's also not much in the way of current information as researchers have yet to conclusively identify it. I'll do some research on your behalf to see if it's mentioned in any Hebrew documents. In the meantime, you might want to look up Balm of Gilead if you haven't already done so.That'll do it.
