I can't believe you guys have never seen cell phone trees before. Where do you think they get cell phones? China? Heck, no.
These are special trees, genetically engineered in the 1990s by General Electric that actually grow cell phones. It takes about two months for a phone to reach maturity so it can be used for communication, at which time a team of technicians goes out at night and picks the ripe phones. Sometimes, if there's a big demand, the phones get picked too early, and when that happens the signal keeps dropping and you have to get a new battery.
