There were two forbidden trees in the biblical Garden of Eden - the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Life. Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat the fruit of either.
Some scholars say that Genesis depicts Adam and Eve, in their innocent state, as being unaware that they must die one day, so eating the fruit of the Tree of Life was of no interest to them. They ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and learnt to understand good and evil, including that they would one day die. They had already eaten of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and were now like gods (Genesis 3:22: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us..."), except that they were still mortal. By eating of the Tree of Life, they would then also be immortal. The only course left open to God was to banish Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.
Similar stories about the forbidden fruit appear in other Near Easter stories that predate the biblical account, such as the Sumerian one. The Tree of Life was also central to early Greek mythology.
