Where do I start? Is there a low impact (on the tree) option? Any species or shape particularly good?
Our house is one of a row that backs onto some wooded, common land. The distinction between garden and common is a little fuzzy and as such, all the local kids use the whole margin, regardless of whose garden it may be, to play. The tree house therefore has to be safe but not overly engineered. I hope that this will turn into a small, Christmas, community project as the kids already love their “secret” campsites.
