Phthinoporinos describes the trees in Jude 1:12 as autumnal and unfruitful.

Senses in use

  1. Describing the trees in a fruitless image · dominant

    In Jude 1:12, the nominative plural neuter form modifies the trees named in the clause; the APB renders the sequence “autumnal trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted,” placing the description within an image of barrenness and removal.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jude 1:12, the APB presents the term in the phrase “autumnal trees.” The precise boundary of that English rendering remains inferential.
