I have had great results with dipoles hung in trees.

Have the same experience hanging various verticals from trees. I guess if you
have a perfect, non-conducting tree it will work. Unfortunately trees are
somewhat conducting, enough to mess up the radiation.
It will work better if you don't use a tree but a non-conducting support such
as a large plastic pipe. A thicker, self-supporting conductor such as a tube
would also work.
Maybe you get what you pay for.
