These things are great in concept. However, a large amount of the
stealth is lost in the 6 months of site prep and erection of them.
Thye would be fine if they just grew overnight.
Every one I've seen stuck out as a sore thumb. You need them to be
located in a forest of same type "structures".

Here in Tucson, The Larson Company (http://www.utilitycamo.com/) is very
successful making all sorts of "camoflauged" antenna structures. Fake
saguaro cactus designs are quite popular. Unfortunately, this stuff isn't
cheap! Disguising cellphone towers is a big part of their business, but
they do all sorts of exotic things.

There are similar solutions available from US manufacturers, for

When I lived in Tucson, there was a saguaro cactus cell phone tower
nearby. I never could figure out why they went to the expense, since
there was a telephone pole adjacent to the stealth installation.

it might
