This is a term from the Bible that is applied to similar trees in other middle Eastern religions. It is important for Jewish Kabbalah. Some anthropologists haphazardly apply the term to any mythological tree in any culture but that is arbretary (hehe).
The world tree in Germanic religion is called Yggdrasil’s Ash, the world ash or Mimir’s tree.
Celtic mythology includes holy trees as well including hazel but none are called the “tree of life”. This symbol below is modern and new age. Insular Celtic pagans never used this kind of knotwork which comes from Germanic pagans and was only adopted by Christian Celts.
