Did God "create evil" when He created the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

Genesis 2:16 - 17

NKJV - ¹⁶ And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat. ¹⁷ "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."
