You can read about Shrubbery, just adding the Rhombus syntax in Racket:

What with the term itself, is that some monthy python reference or related to tree algebraic structure?

Matthew Flatt picked “shrubbery” because it’s tree-like but not fully expanded, so it tends to be more broad/flat than deep like a tree. Hence also the term “enforrestation” when you fully expanded it.

I think the Monty Python reference is just a happy coincidence.
