@Tomaz79 No apple which is a Medieval notion! Probably the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge was a fig from a fig tree, as after eating, fig leaves are made into aprons to cover nakedness (Genesis 6:7). The fruit of the Tree of life was probably dates from a date palm: compare Genesis 3:24 Cherubim guard the tree with Cherubim & Palm trees in Solomon's temple in Ezekiel 41:18. See my video on Eden's trees for more info.
