According to old folklore, a patch tree (or fever tree) can be used to 'bind off' fever or illness in general. It is often an oak, but sometimes other types, such as a lime tree. Folklore says that if a piece of cloth is tied to a special tree, this tree will make the fever or pain disappear. The piece of cloth had to have been in contact with the patient, so the piece of cloth could transfer the illness to the tree.
