No we don't. The tree was of the knowledge of good and evil. No mention is made in Genesis about an apple tree. It's tradition that holds that it was an apple tree. Equally tradition holds that it was passion fruit!

On thing which has always puzzled me, they were the only two people on earth, they had two sons, then one of them went away and married a girl from another village, where did that one come from?

How Adam got Eve - nothing like a good bible story to make your day!
Adam was hanging around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely. So, God asked him "what's wrong with you?" Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that He was going to make Adam a companion, and that it would be a woman. He said, "This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash them for you." "She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit that she was wrong when you have had a disagreement. She will praise you!!" "She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them." "She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." Adam asked God "What will a woman like this cost?" "An arm and a leg!" Then Adam asked "What can I get for a RIB?" And of course the rest is history.......
