Meanwhile, in my area they disguise them as conifers.

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).
There is one like that sort of near me. It is alone in a large clearing and stands out like a sore thumb.
Ours was a bad cedar disguise in the middle of a parking lot. Maybe if the cedar didn't have a round top.
Those things are surprisingly more hidden than you'd think. I had one right across the street from where I lived for a year and a half before I noticed it. But as soon as you know it's there it sticks out pretty bad.
Those are some weird bananas
You may not like it, but this is what peak non-genetically-modified-monoculture-banana performance looks like
i saw the antenna things but it took me a few seconds to realise the tree was fake
so yeah job well done
What’s sneaky about a couple of palm trees ??

She looks like the real thing. She tastes like the real thing.
