34:16

فَأَعْرَضُوا۟ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ ٱلْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَٰهُم بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَىْ أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَىْءٍ مِّن سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is a genitive adjective qualifying أُكُلٍ in the replacement gardens given after Saba turns away. Its pairing with tamarisk and only a little lote contrasts with the former two gardens and presents inferior, unpleasant produce.
