According to the text, no, probably not. God never mentions it and only mentioned the tree of the knowledge of good and evil explicitly.
A note: god doesn't seem to be bothered by them eating it so long as they lack knowledge. It is the knowledge that makes men like god. This is rather telling of how these people viewed gods. It does fit with other cultures as well. Remember the story of Prometheus. Fire was a power of the gods, and Prometheus was punished for giving it to men.
