And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Great idea, but that tree doesn't look sturdy enough, and it would really sway in a storm.
You would think a Redwood tree would be a good candidate for supporting a treehouse. Problem is they seem to be designed to shed branches at windspeeds above 65mph. Don't know how they do it, but the branch just drops away, and, on a tree 200+ ft tall, that branch will be the size of a normal woodland tree. Hard to armor a home to withstand that sort of impact, and the branches are near the top of the tree. Not sure if it is feasible to brace the branches to keep them from detaching. Could be a nice view if located up near the branches, though.
Looks like it is three trees and yes it would sway in a storm!
