From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Vine of Sodom       referred to only in Deut. 32:32. Among the many conjectures as       to this tree, the most probable is that it is the 'osher of the       Arabs, which abounds in the region of the Dead Sea. Its fruit       are the so-called "apples of Sodom," which, though beautiful to       the eye, are exceedingly bitter to the taste. (See EN-GEDI       ¯T0001207.) The people of Israel are referred to here by Moses       as being utterly corrupt, bringing forth only bitter fruit.
