Meanwhile, in my area they disguise them as conifers.

...in a deciduous forest.

Counterpoint: a fake maple tree will really stick out in the winter (if you live somewhere with distinct seasons)

I suppose they could do a fake dead maple tree; that would at least be plausible year-round.

But honestly, I'd rather they just not even try to disguise it than to go for the conifer route (especially since, as I should've mentioned initially, the things are substantially higher than all the surrounding trees).

There is one like that sort of near me. It is alone in a large clearing and stands out like a sore thumb.

Ours was a bad cedar disguise in the middle of a parking lot. Maybe if the cedar didn't have a round top.

Those things are surprisingly more hidden than you'd think. I had one right across the street from where I lived for a year and a half before I noticed it. But as soon as you know it's there it sticks out pretty bad.

She looks like the real thing. She tastes like the real thing.
