Your post to me outlines what the trees actually were; or rather, what they prolly were not. Satan might not direct Eve to the "tree of life," since his goal is death, but A&E should have been running to it, after transgressing? If it were just a physical tree. So I think satan had no choice--he could not lead Eve to the tree of life; and God knew he would lead them to the "tree of knowledge," an obvious euphemism, imo.
