The tree of life in Eden, "possibly" was an olive tree.

Where did Jesus Christ go many times; to a garden on the Mount of Olives?

From where was He taken, to become our Passover, the Mount of Olives?

To where will Christ return? The Mount of Olives.

Zechariah 14

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth [was] an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

Zechariah 4

3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side] thereof.
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What [are] these two olive trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon the left [side] thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What [be these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?

Revelation 11

Romans 11: 24

2 4 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own olive tree?

Isaiah 17: 6

6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two [or] three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four [or] five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.

It is possible. There is an olive tree that is known to be 2,000 years old. That symbolises eternal life. The fruit of the olive tree is nothing special to look at. That may be part of the reason that Adam failed to eat from the tree of life. We will know for sure one day, the sooner the better!
