Steve Crook Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Why are some of the trees fake? Do they have many fake trees in America? Most of the trees in the game are planted firmly in the ground like real trees. Even the ones in the cities. If you run into them they're quite solid and will usually damage your vehicle (or CJ if he's not in a vehicle). But some of them, like the ones on the road from the construction site by the garage in SF to Zero's shop, have trees on a square base sitting on the ground. If you drive into them you will either knock them over or push them along the road. Whyever should they do such a thing?

Ryan Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Do they have many fake trees in America? In America the foresty industry is very big and important so ALOT of tress are cut down and they are unable to grow back so we just plant fake ones that you can walk right throguh.

Grand Theft Grandpa Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 What a strange-assed topic. The only fake tree I`ve seen which had a lasting impression is one which was in a mall in Columbus, Ohio in the early-mid `70`s. I believe it was around Christmas time, and there may have been some type of tie-in to Santa Claus too. Anyway, the thing had a face, talked, and put on shows for kids. It may also have spit candy or something, but I can`t remember for sure. They`d been advertising about this tree for weeks on TV, so mom took my sisters and I to see it. Well, that`s all I can remember about the fake, talking tree in the mall. I apologize if you`ve read my post to this point, only to discover that there`s no real moral to the story or any impactual conclusion...although I feel I`m entitled to forget the details, as it`s been 30+ years since that fateful day. The thing that bugs me the most is that I can`t remember the tree`s name, dammit.

Grand Theft Grandpa Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Might have been "Woody". That`s actually a good, logical guess . But it seems like it was an impossibly long name such as "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt". I think it was a "mister" name; i.e, "Mr. Somethingorother". Hell, it could have been "Jimmie Bob Dilrod " for all I know. FYI, "woody" didn`t have the same connotation back then as it does now.

Grand Theft Grandpa Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thanks everyone. But you all seem to have picked up on the supplementary question and ignored the main question. Why are there those fake trees in the game? You`re right. It`s obvious that those particular trees are for decoration. In RL, it`s common to see these "decorative" trees in various places around the U.S, be they in small towns (like where I live), or large metropolitan areas (like San Fierro-San Francisco). While I`ve never been to San Fran and therefore cannot speak on what they have out there, I can tell you that the trees I`ve seen are real, not fake. And yes, they often have a decorative ring, made from bricks, wrought iron, etc. The town north of me had had its main street lined with (small, decorative, and real) trees some time in the early 80`s, but they were removed recently, and now it looks like sh*t up there. My guess is that the trees had grown too large for the street. Overall, I`d say that fake trees aren`t too common over here, but certainly not unheard of. I hope that helped . @ryan92-Once trees are harvested, new ones can be planted in their place.
