Rev 22:2 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Rev 22:1      Rev 22:3

Revelation 22:2

in the middle of the city's [the new Jerusalem] main street [Gen. 2:10; Ezekiel 47:1–12]. On both sides of the river stood the tree of life [singular], which bears fruit twelve times a year and yields its harvest every month. The leaves of the tree are life-giving (for healing – Gk. therapeian) to the nations.
[The tree of life is singular and can be interpreted as a uniform group of trees of the same species, or the river flows on both sides of the tree. The tree of life is also mentioned in the Garden of Eden, see Gen. 2:9. After the Fall, God prevents Adam and Eve from eating its fruit, because it gives eternal life, see Gen. 3:22. In his greeting to the church in Ephesus, Jesus promised them that they would eat from the tree of life in God's paradise, see Rev 2:7. Unlike the sea, which represents chaos, the river is a positive image of something that is in motion and bubbling with life. Eternity in close communion with God never becomes boring. Just as Adam was given the task of naming the animals, see Gen. 2:19, there will likely be meaningful creative tasks.]
