Default Good trees for climbing or treehouse

Nothing comes to mind. Trees for houses are usually "there" on the land when people
build. We had a couple tree houses built in elms, which of course died in the
plague. There are some good sized maples, but a tree house needs a very thick,
sturdy trunk too or the whole thing can come over. Fast growing trees are not
sturdy.
it is time to think about a fort on stilts with bushes and trees planted around it.

I guess it
should be something fast growing that maybe in three or four years
might be ready to build a treehouse. That's why i came here for
suggestions. Hopefully this gives you more info to offer ideas.
Regards.
