Wait you don't like em? I like em better than just cell towers
I think they're uglier than cell towers. They look like what they are- fake trees trying to blend in with real trees and doing it badly. That's worse than simply putting up a metal and concrete tower to me.
The point is to not stick out on a cursory glance. As you drive by you see a bunch of green, you might notice there was something up with that particular tree, but that's it. A plain cell tower would stick out from a distance, interrupting the natural view.
It's like those mirror covered buildings that reflect their surroundings, giving the impression of unbroken landscape as you drive by. They're not invisible, you know there's a huge building there, but it's a hell of a lot less disruptive than a regular one.
Those buildings kill birds tho, thye don't see the building and hit the mirrors at full speed
