Default prosthetic tree limbs

how do you think a prosthetic limb would work. probably work best for evergreens. the decidious would have to be changed with the passing of the seasons. they would be useful in the event that a nearby tree is removed revealing a bare section or for numerous other reasons. from a distance an airbrushed composite limb would blend right in, especially if you didnt know it was there.
the delima would probably lie in attachment. maybe a few lags{could be too invasive} maybe straps, but that could cause damage also. maybe with some tweeking either could work. heck, one could probably go as far as using a prosthetic top for storm damaged trees. hell how about an entire fake tree? just a thought.
