To heck with the tests!
If I had a 120 foot tall tree in my backyard I would hang a 3 or 4 wire
cage around it from top to bottom. The tree would not bother you much
but the cage sure would do its job in providing a good broadband and
efficient radiator. At RF the tree wet or dry would have a minimal
impact on the radiation pattern but do its job by supporting the
radiation cage for you.
