Fake Trees on SDMT

[Goofnut1980]

So it is me, or do the evergreens and shrubs look fake they installed... I don't remember seeing planting spots on the mountain. Also, there is one picture the where the tree is anchored into a small metal post hole... hmmmm Wonder how those will hold up in a hurricane or the sun!

Of course they are fake. Where would the roots go? Don't know about storm worthiness, but, I would be surprised if they weren't anchored really well. I heard the Tree of Life is fake as well, ruined my vacation.

I think they look just fine. Once the metal "trunks" are obscured by grasses, they'll just be part of the landscape.

With the exception of Beast's model home, Disney uses the best people in the busoness for that kind of stuff. I still have faith that they can at least make some trees look good.

I had to Google what ride this was...lol

I am kinda shocked anyone would think they were real. Where would the roots go and having to manage trimming and growth?

It looks great so far!

 

[Goofnut1980]

I never said they looked bad... I just did not realize they used fake trees!

That last pic with the backpacks led me to this. Beware, you can not un-see what you see.

I actually met the farther of the lady that was/is head of the greenery for fantasy land. He was telling me her back ground and what not and she seemed qualified to me for whatever that's worth lol.

I suppose the little house on the hill falls outside her juristiction anyways.

Shhh... It's not real rocks either! It's also not a real cave. It's not even underground! Those are fake gemstones! Gasp!

That's the one thing different about Tomorrowland. Pretty much absent of fake stone, rock and stucco. Back then a lot of american steel. Even the fake palms are metal. Lol

Next you'll be telling us all the dwarves are fake too.....

Don't be ridiculous. Why in the world would they use fake dwarves?!?! That defies all logic.

 

[Marc Gil]

Lol THEY'RE NOT FAKE, YOU'RE RUINING THE MAGIC!!

In all seriousness, was everyone expecting real trees? Come on now...

 

[Tonka's Skipper]

I don't see how anyone would ever think they are real or that a real tree could survive in a *pot* on these hills in the hot Florida weather.

PS...you mean the dwarves are not real??....................*HO THE PAIN*

I've been told by CMs before, there is no such thing as FAKE in disneyworld, it's DISNEY MAGIC !

But the dwarfs are real, right?? RIGHT??

 

[MikeTaylorSound]

I think the metal palm trees in Tomorrowland are cool.
The ToL in AK looks good in the Spring/Summer months, the greenness stands out like a sore thumb in February with all the real trees around it.

"Chlorophyll? More like Bore-ophyll!"

Give it time......the remaining scenery will give off a better illusion of realism. Plus not all fake trees are that bad hahaha heck look at all the upside-down trees (the Baobab's) on the safari in Animal Kingdom....only the one at the entrance is actually real.
