Answer
Putting the tree within man's reach was not act of "temptation," at least not in the usual sense of the word. We usually speak of "tempting" as "enticing, luring, seducing, provoking, or attempting to coerce to do wrong, generally with a supposed reward or benefit as the bait." God did just the opposite. He commanded man not to eat of the tree, and he warned that eating from it would bring harm, not good. Certainly God's actions might be considered a "test," but not a temptation.
