It’s not a real plant, but the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse is pretty close to real. The Cooperative Welding and Mfg. Co. (Cowelco) built the super structure for the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse for Disneyland in 1962. According to PlantsOfDisneyland.com, the Moreton Bay Fig Tree in 
Anaheim was a model for the Disney Imagineers while they were building the treehouse. Here’s a Google Street View of the Fig Tree.
Anaheim started in 1857 and the tree was planted in the late 1800’s by a local horticulturist. Below is guided tour from the LA Times and an advertisement for the newest attraction at Disneyland (in 1962)!
