Depending on your needs, you may instead want to consider converting your data to a graph data structure, rather than a tree. The benefits are that it will deal properly with cycles, multiple components, or diverging and re-converging paths. Then in graph form you will be able to run a large library of graph algorithms on it to find shortest paths between nodes, etc.
https://github.com/Engelberg/ubergraph is one way to build a graph in Clojure. The example input you gave is known as an adjacency map, and is one of the kinds of inputs accepted by the constructor. So, for example, you can simply do (uber/digraph answer24).
