Man wasn't made from a tree. It started when the Frost Giant Ymir was sleeping and started to perspire. The first man and woman emerged from the sweat on his arms.
The World Tree in Norse Mythology was called Yggdrasil, if that's what you're thinking of.

What is the influence of Norse mythology in recent days?
Although Scandinavian culture and heritage remains influential in many aspects of the modern day, remnants of Norse folklore in particular are abundant in the present-day genre of fantasy. J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion, is often considered to be one of the fathers of modern fantasy literature. His son Christopher has said in interviews that Tolkien was an avid fan of Norse mythology, and that one of the reasons he worked to create such elaborate universes for his novels was to emulate the world-building structure of folklore. In addition to borrowing the structure of mythology, Tolkein took many of his characters from Norse and Germanic mythologies: light elves, dark elves, trolls, dwarves, giants, dragons, and more are characters often represented in Norse mythology. Norse mythology took place in a universe composed of nine worlds on one world tree, Yggdrasil. This concept of a world tree was seen in other mythologies (e.g. Slavic, Finnish), and the idea is popular in modern fantasy universes. For example, there is a world tree in the popular video game franchise World of Warcraft. Another notable modern appearance of Norse mythology is the Marvel Comics adaptation of the Norse god Thor, the god of thunder. Although there are many prominent discrepancies between comic book Thor and mythological Thor, there are similarities as well: the nine worlds of Yggdrasil are present, many of the traditional gods are represented, Thor wields the hammer Mjolnir, and the link from Earth to Asgard is the rainbow bridge Bifrost. However, Iron man and Captain America weren't worshiped by the Vikings.
