Does anyone know how to spot a fake from the real thing? Pictures would help out in discussing this topic.
Thanks

I looked at a few the other day and they looked the same except for the amount of snow on the main stem of the tree trunk.

There was a guy that used to come to the viewing area on Winslow Hill that was really up on the patches.

He told me that most fake patches are thinner than the real ones, and usually don't hold up as well.
