We have a couple of those where I grew up in Atlanta Ga. The funny part is they are twice as tall as any other tree close by so they kinda stick out like a sore thumb. They do look better than the standard tower though

In south Florida they work because they're supposed to look like Norfolk Island Pines... Which are inexplicably all over down there.
Here in NC, they just look stupid.

Palm trees in Los Angeles - look pretty good!
When I visit my Mom, I will point them out and she can hardly tell it is not a tree.

My kids call them Frankentrees. Some look awesome, others pretty lame. We like to "grade" them as we travel around. NJ has some pretty awesome ones as does NH. NY is coming along but they have some pretty fugly ones.

There was a big one in Philly that we saw when we went to instruct the splicing symposium. At first, Josh Jump thought it really was a pine! Loked pretty cool, i was impressed.

Wow, that one looks like it's gonna turn out pretty good-lookin'. The one we have here near Lake Coeur d'Alene is kinda lame. Here's a picture. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM61HQ_Lake_Coeur_dAlene_Tree_Cell_Phone_Tower It's much taller than the surrounding trees and doesn't look nearly as real as the one in the OP.
