Treehouses are, for some, a cherished childhood memory. For others, a treehouse is something longed for but never created.
To most of us, however, the image and idea of a treehouse remains a symbol of the perfect, peaceful getaway. A way to escape into the canopy, treehouses are a form of privacy and a gateway to another world.
When building the perfect treehouse, the first thing to look for is a strong, sturdy tree with branches that range in height and length and aren't growing too far apart. The health of the tree is also crucial.
Ideal tree species for treehouse building are oak, beech, maple, ash, cedar, hemlock, and Douglas fir. Browse all our tree and leaf gifts here: https://wildlifewonders.com/tree-leaf-gifts/
