Default Good trees for climbing or treehouse

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.



Unless you/they are willing to pay substantial amounts of money to have a
very large tree brought in I think you are out of luck as regards tree
houses for a child already born. It's not too early to be planning for the
grandkids treehouse, though.

I have purchased trees this large in the past so it can be done. You need to
contact a local nursery to find out what size trees are available, go for
the largest they can offer, and wait 3 or more years for it to get well
established.

How old are these kids now??
