Say your kid wants a tree house, and you're not keen on ladders.

It's like that other IOTD where the tribes trained the trees to grow into bridges, except vertical.

That's not a treehouse. That's a sniper platform.

Do Not Want. Looks like shitty modern architecture. Call me in 20 years when the scaffolding has gone and nature has taken back control.

When it matures, and they take the scaffold out, it won't be virtual. If you read the link, it tells you this is an experiment to see if it can be done, if they can create living space from natural growth.

What I don't understand is, how will they remove the scaffolding? Looks like the tree is growing all the way around the bars.

No, the bars grown into the trees are the frames for the floors, they will stay attached. The scaffolding is inside/outside the living structure and can be dismantled.
