Psalm 1:3 what tree?

In Psalm 1:3 it reads:
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Are there any commentaries that speculate what kind of tree the psalmist would likely have had in view? Not anything exegetical I guess but just a question that struck my mind this AM.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”
