[TowerTalk] a solution for HOA problems?

No offense intended Jim, but that is one of the least attractive trees I
have ever seen.  If I were in your HOA I would ask for it to be removed.

Subject: [TowerTalk] a solution for HOA problems?

While sitting in traffic the other day, I was looking at one of those cell
towers that looks like a tree (a very realistic coniferous one, I might
add).

Then, I looked at a vertical in my back yard next to a tall skinny Melaleuca
tree (it's a kind of bushy eucalypt
http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/31992/index.html) and it occurred to me that
hams could do the same as the wireless companies, on a smaller scale.

So, the question is, where would one get suitable fake branches? Does anyone
know anything about the design of the faux tree cell towers?  What kind of
tree would be best to fake?  Probably want something that's fairly tall and
skinny, but not as bushy as the Melaleuca.  Heck, it would be a lot safer in
a fire prone area where the Melaleuca is like having a big oily firestarter
next to your house.

(100 ft tall Palm trees?)
