Living In Trees II

See Living In Trees.

By "living in trees," I meant "living among the branches of large trees." However, we have recently referred to two kinds of beings that lived inside hollow trees. See Alori Houses.

On Poul Anderson's fictional planet of Freehold, many people fled from the cities into the forests where they developed biological sciences and built a sophisticated post-civilization but did any Freeholders live not among but in the trees? Maybe we can either remember or reread?

Kaor, Paul!

I don't think the trees on Freehold are like the giant Great Trees of Ranau on Unan Besar. That is, Freehold trees will be mostly of a fairly ordinary size comparable to Terrestrial trees. So, I would expect the outbackers of Freehold to live in ordinary houses.
