Weeeellll......I'll mention one thing.
Where were they placed? In a garden. A big garden. A garden full of trees. Full of trees with fruit that can be eaten.
So in a sense, it makes perfect sense for God to use a tree as the test......because in a garden FULL of other options, man has no excuse for taking from the only, one, singular thing that was forbidden.
In other words, man can't claim "it's not fair.....there were only 4 trees and I didn't like the taste of some of them so in order to eat I had to take from the one you told me not to eat of." They had, probably literally, at least hundreds of other trees to take from. There was no reason to eat of the TOTKOGAE. It's a good test God set up that used something so prevalent so that man could be.....
.....without excuse.
