Please check Maharal (Gur Aryeh) on the Rashi on this verse. G"d showed that 
the unity of the created (the fruit) and its creator (the tree) cannot exist 
in the purely material world. Only man can rise above this. He translates the 
issue as failure, not sin of the trees and earth.

Theologically most attractive.
