The tree from which Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat the fruit, was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:9). This tree featured in many ancient Near Eastern creation myths, and gave whoever ate its fruit knowledge of everything, including an understanding of good and evil. After Adam and Eve had eaten the fruit, we find God saying (3:22) that they were now like one of the gods - except that they were not immortal. If they also ate of the Tree of Life, they would be equal to the gods and immortal. It was against this eventuality that God had to banish Adam and Eve from the Garden and place a cherub and a flaming sword there, to block the way back to the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life is mentioned in Genesis 3:24.The two trees were not real, so we would never expect to find any such trees on earth today.Answer:They are mentioned in Genesis 2:17.
