In fact there are a couple on my property here. Their spread is gigantic and are used for shade trees.
In the film the Swiss Family Robinson had their treehouse in a Trembesi or more accurately, Albizi Saman tree.

When I was a very small child our parents took my sister and me to see that movie. Afterwards I lobbied vigorously for them to build us a similar treehouse in the hedgeapple trees in our backyard, but for SOME reason they never did!
I felt deeply deprived, at least until I forgot about it entirely....
