trees (growing) from a single root
and trees not (growing) from a single root.
It is He Who sendeth down rain from the skies: with it We produce vegetation of all kinds: from some We produce green (crops), out of which We produce grain, heaped up (at harvest); out of the date-palm and its sheaths (or spathes) (come) clusters of dates hanging low and near: and (then there are) gardens of grapes, and olives, and pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety): when they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the fruit and the ripeness thereof. Behold! in these things there are signs for people who believe.
And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees - growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who understand!

他从云中降下雨水,用雨水使一切植物发芽,长出翠绿的枝叶,结出累累的果实,从海枣树的花被中结出-串串枣球;用雨水浇灌许多葡萄园,浇灌相似的和不相似的橄榄和石榴,当果树结果的时候,你们看看那些果实和成熟的情形吧。对于信道的民众,此中确有许多迹象。
大地上有许多邻近的区域,有葡萄园,有庄稼,有椰枣树,其中有二株同根生的,二株异根生的,(这些都是)用同样的水灌溉的,我却使这一部分果实比那一部分佳美。对于能理解的民众,此中确有许多迹象。
你以两个人的情况为他们打一个比喻。我为其中的一个人创造了两个葡萄园,而围以椰枣林,并且以两园之间的地方为耕地。
