Strange Fruit

Puisi Oscar Wilde pada 1898  "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" menyebutkan pohon gallows yang digantungi seorang manusia sebagai buahnya;For oak and elm have pleasant leaves
That in the spring-time shoot:
But grim to see is the gallows-tree,
With its adder-bitten root,
And, green or dry, a man must die
Before it bears its fruit!
