It is a fictional tree from Jim Crace's novel "Being Dead". None of the plants, bugs, people, or customs in the book are real. Even the poem that opens the book was made up by the author. There is no such thing as a "quivering". There is no Mondazy, no goatherders book and there is no such thing as a salt pine. Perhaps he is suggesting that the only reality is death because death is the only thing depicted in the book that he didn't invent from thin air.
