Heith,
These are NOT cheap.
A few things to consider...
1. Because of the "branches" coming off of the main mast you have
increased wind loading which means beefier pole and larger/deeper
foundation.
2. At wifi freqs (2.4 and 5 Ghz) there is no real concern. At licensed
freqs especially 23/24 Ghz you will need "branches and leaves" that are
RF adapted for the spectrum. Standard branches will attenuate the heck
out of your signal at higher freqs.
3. They are a PITA to work on. You need a manlift or large bucket truck
to get access to antennas, etc. Its almost impossible to use a crane
with a suspended manbasket. Some are climbable but they still suck to
work on.
You should count on spending 20-30% more than you would on a standard
monopole. Go back to the tower design if you can unless of course you
have deep pockets....

Curious is anyone has deployed a decoy tower, palm tree looking, with
decent success and who is a good distributor/manufacturer. I have
never seen one in person and we have a situation where we don't really
need one but would likely look a lot better than a traditional tower
thanks
