There are two notable "special trees" mentioned in the Garden of Eden in KJV Genesis 2:9 that are 1. tree of life and 2. tree of knowledge of good and evil.
KJV Genesis 2:8-9,
8 ¶ And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Instead of eating from the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" man could have eaten from the "tree of life" and lived forever...
God told the man "Adam" he could eat of every tree in the Garden of Eden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (KJV Genesis 2:16-17).
KJV Genesis 2:16-17,
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
...Meaning Adam (and even his wife "Eve") could have eaten from the TREE OF LIFE and lived forever...
KJV Genesis 3:22-24,
22 ¶ And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
