What are the adaptations of the tree octopus?
In order for an octopus species to become arboreal, it first has to develop lungs like a frog. It also has to adopt a generally green color, and increase the durability of its eggs, which would dry out if hung in long strings as they typically are in the underwater habitat. Its clinging tentacles might be used in climbing, but swimming propulsion would no longer work. In short, the octopus is not well-suited for life as a land creature.

Squid do not usually kill people. If they grab your SCUBA gear with their suckers, though, they might pull it loose and you could drown if you panic, but they're not usually deadly. They do bite, however, and that's painful because they have a hard beak.
*Note that tree octopi are not real. It is a hoax. (see the related question)
Ecological Information
Although mythological, the habits of the tree octopus are not completely unknown. Their diet probably is more carnivorous than herbivorous, as they are reported to have been observed consuming small amphibians such as tree frogs and toads, and particularly enjoy eggs and young hatchlings. Because of their highly developed olfactory sense, they unfortunately are attracted to the occasional running shoe which careless athletes in the Northwest tend to dispose of by tossing into the high branches of trees. These running shoes are deadly to the tree octopus as they are indigestible and have resulted in a number of confirmed deaths.
See the website listed below for further information and ways to support this critically endangered though entirely fictitious creature.
How do octopus reproduce sexually?
Yes this is very true. Males live long enough to reproduce with more females, but die within two months at most. Females lay their eggs in a secretive cave, and take care of her eggs for 6 whole months. Before they hatch she leaves and places herself to pass away in a small area. It is a triggered hormone that forces them to die after laying eggs, or in males case, after they mate. It is said that if the reproductive organs was removed for a female, she a longer chance of living. But I have never heard of this to happen, so perhaps it was just a rumor.
