Have a look at the tkinter.ttk.Treeview widget; it can be formatted as a 
tree hierarchy, its name suggests, or a multi-column tables, but it 
doesn't support multi-line text though, as far as I know.

As with the tkinter.Text widget, you'll need to add the scrollbar(s) 
separately and then link them.
