Default Re: Tree house tree?

Better to build it in the mango tree rather than the poinciana.

Poinciana's not as strong and decay easier.

My only advice is use stainless steel bolts/screws at strategic points to bolt timber to the tree and no nails. I'd build it so it has a frame bolted to the tree and the rest of it bolts/nails to the frame.

That would minimize wounds.
