See the discussion by Stone, Ezra, 73, 123, 198-99, 259, 266, 286. This connection seems to be primary for 4 Ezra, but see also the broader overview provided by Veronika Bachmann, “Rooted in Paradise? The Meaning of the ‘Tree of Life’ in 1 Enoch 24-25 Reconsidered,” jsp 19 (2009): 83-107, which may be applicable to 4 Ezra as well.
