    It is a fictional tree from the nonsense-poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll
    Below is the verse where it is mentioned (alas, in modern English, so 'YumYum' have become 'TumTum'

    He took his vorpal sword in hand;
          Long time the manxome foe he sought—
    So rested he by the Tumtum tree
          And stood awhile in thought.

    First time I've heard the word "vorpal" used in the right context. Good job. :  )
