    Meanwhile, in my area they disguise them as conifers.

    …in a deciduous forest.

      Counterpoint: a fake maple tree will really stick out in the winter (if you live somewhere with distinct seasons)

        I suppose they could do a fake dead maple tree; that would at least be plausible year-round.

        But honestly, I’d rather they just not even try to disguise it than to go for the conifer route (especially since, as I should’ve mentioned initially, the things are substantially higher than all the surrounding trees).
