Frankenpine
n.— «The tower would be part of a new brand of high-tech tower that tries to mimic trees and vegetation. Nextel proposes to paint the tower brown at its lowest sections and attach fake branches to make the tower appear to be a white pine, albeit more than 30 feet higher than any surrounding trees. Critics dub it “Frankenpine.”» —“‘Frankenpine’: Camoflaged cell tower or Adirondack monstrosity?” by Michael Gormley in Albany, New York USA Today July 8, 2004. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
