Hmm, My FC4 install has it:

[agilmore at xxxxx decodes-src]$ rpm -qi tree
Name        : tree                         Relocations: /usr

URL         : http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/
Summary     : A utility which displays a tree view of the contents of
directories.
Description :
The tree utility recursively displays the contents of directories in a
tree-like format. Tree is basically a UNIX port of the DOS tree
utility.

It looks like the URL above is a good place to look for source, or use
the SRPM from Red Hat.
