I've walked right up next to them and they are metal and do not hold up any type of tree :confused:

It's really difficult to see from Google StreetView. They appear to be behind the fence line. Are you able to take a photo yourself?

The earlier GSV photo shows that they're very blue - maybe some water main markers?
