Here's a Google Maps image of one of these "trees" from a distance. This one is in the UK. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.8765015,-2.0253306,3a,75y,29.22h,8

That's so strange. I don't see why they couldn't just pick a color that matched the other trees around it even slightly. The out-of-place ones I see that are among other trees are usually out-of-place because they are just so much taller, not a completely different color.

  Well it's going to look more obvious at different times of the year. Especially in the fall and winter.

    In winter it'll be covered in snow? Should blend in better then

      That's probably not going to be the case for most of the time in Southern England.

Here’s another one from my city in a semi desert area in northern Mexico (take a look at the kind of trees that grow around here for comparison). https://goo.gl/maps/J76RJAaMQcaCdoWD6 https://goo.gl/maps/J76RJAaMQcaCdoWD6
