RE: Climbing Tree

Shade as in growing under, or producing? It does not need to be either one. I 
have both spaces available in the yard, and I don't need for this tree to 
produce more shade, just 'seats'!

Does it have to be a shade tree?? Our little grand-daughter loves to climb
our Almond trees in the orchard. Some trunks are shaped better than others
and it is always fun to find the good climbing tree.
