In fiction, if a character has to spy on another for any reason, the go-to hiding place is behind the nearest plant life. Despite all probability, there will always be a sizable tree in a convenient location that the character can use at leisure to eavesdrop or gaze on the unfolding scene. The majority of the time the tree will do the trick and the spied-upon characters are none the wiser about the suspicious person periodically peeking their head around the nearest shrubbery unless Rule of Funny applies in the onlooker being caught. This trope is very prominent in cartoons, where characters often hide behind trees that are thinner than they are.
Not so much Truth in Television, given the many practical limitations.
For instances when the onlooker brings a fake tree as a screen with them, it's Mobile Shrubbery. Occasionally utilized by a naked person trapped outside, for obvious reasons. Differs from Behind the Black in that the characters aren't invisible, just well hidden in an unlikely place. See also Behind a Stick for comic variants.

Used all the time whenever someone is sneaking around in Winnetou. There are the occasional subversions, in that not all trees are actually wide enough to hide a man's body, and other cover options must be found. Also useful when someone shoots at you. Most significantly, a tree saves Old Shatterhand's life in "Winnetou III", when a surprise encounter in the woods with an unseen foe leaves him a bit defenseless. Luckily, the shooter turns out to be Winnetou, and everyone makes it out unharmed.

Maps in Contract Wars are abundant with various bushes, both high and low. Learning to use them is essential as the maps often have long sight lines from one end to another. Amusingly, hiding in the same bushes as your enemy is the situation that happen distressingly often because of both this trope and how default uniform blended so well with environment.

There are islands in Deeeep.io, and they'll often have trees. Seagulls can literally hide in the canopy, and so can snakes (which is entirely possible in real life.)
In a broader sense, several other, mostly underwater objects can also be used as static cover. Tree Beavers and Ducks can hide in beaver dams. and all but the Tier 10 animals can hide inside the Shipwreck and the Abandoned House.

A Description of the Northern Peoples narrates how Swedish farmers that went into guerrilla warfare would cut trees along forest roads until they were halfway down, then tie ropes around them, and when your standard German or Danish knightly army comes along, the Swedes would pull the trees down and then let loose with slings, crossbows and throwing spears from behind their new battlements. This was described as a "Bråte", and the word remains in the Swedish language today, though it now means "junk" or "mess."

Twelfth Night has three mischief-makers hide behind a "box-tree" to spy on the man they're pranking. It's a comedy, so productions tend to have a lot of fun making square-shaped trees, using Mobile Shrubbery, or having the tree be far too thin to hide behind.

In The Last Adventure, Discord happens to stand behind a tree when he sees a stallion showing an engagement ring to Fluttershy. Furious, he shows up "casually" for them, learning that the stallion was just asking Fluttershy's opinion about the ring he bought for somepony else. Embarassed, Discord teleports behind the tree again and decides to wait until the intruder goes away, so he'll confess his feelings to Fluttershy... until he hears the stallion calling him a monster,just like many others did before. Hurt and tired of dealing with ponies' prejudice, Discord storms off and doesn't get to hear Fluttershy angrily defending him.

In Asterix, the characters hide in bushes or behind trees (or up them) a lot, especially the Roman legionnaires.
In Asterix and the Big Fight, a soldier was forced to spy on the Gauls disguised as a tree (dressing a natural one!). Not only an owl gets fond of his disguise, but Asterix and Obelix find him out and capture the poor man to use him as a Guinea Pig for the potions of an amnesiac Getafix.
In Asterix and the Roman Agent, a group of legionnaires hurriedly hides up a tree when they hear Geriatrix and Fulliautomatix approaching. Unluckily, their hiding had a wasp nest, so they were forced to put up with wasp bites until the Gauls were gone.

This trope crops up in the Aunt Dimity series from time to time. Sometimes it's used for comic effect, sometimes not.
It is revealed late in Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea that Abaddon camps out in the cottage's hedgerow to directly spy on Bill's family. Lori and Bill discuss removing the hedges for safety's sake but ultimately decide against it.
In Aunt Dimity and the Family Tree, Raiiney Dawson hides in the bushes near Willis Sr.'s house during the housewarming party. When Lori goes outside for a breath of air, Rainey takes her by surprise. Rainey came there to secretly enlist her aid for her grandmother Sally Pyne, whose tall tales have caught up with her.
In Aunt Dimity and the Lost Prince, Lori and Bree Pym are leaving Tappan Hall after being told Lady Barbara is just back from hospital and too ill to receive visitors when Barb herself hisses at them from her hiding place in the bushes. She's violating doctor's orders by being out of her specially-fitted bedroom (no dusty books and no ashy fires), and she invites Lori and Bree into her book-filled study, leading the way with her oxygen tank in tow.

Done in two stages in Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure, "Sneaking and Entering" and "To the Manor Borne". In both cases, Raphael has to enter a heavily guarded mansion and hide behind shrubbery trimmed to resemble dancers, assuming the same poses as they do to not get caught by the guards. A variant where Raphael hides behind statues in The Louvre is the focus of two other stages, "Looting the Louvre" and "Looting the Louvre Redux".

Treant Protector in Dota 2 has the skill Nature's Guise, which turns Treant or his allies invisible when they're close by trees. In Treant's case, he can cast spells without breaking invisibility.

XCOM 2: Due to how concealment worksnote picture the cover object as a segment of an infinite line; if that line is between the enemy unit and your soldier, your guy can't be seen at all and XCOM deploying from the wilderness when assaulting facilities, during most approaches, your soldiers will be perfectly hidden behind tree trunks barely wide enough to hide their torsos, even if the enemy's close enough to see the whites of their eyes. It's even more ridiculous with Reapers, the stealth-based faction in War of the Chosen: if the Reaper didn't bring any attention to themself, the enemy has to be within two meters of them in addition to being in the same side as the Reaper's cover to spot them.

In The Witch of the Everfree, Cadance tries to surreptitiously watch Twilight and Sunset's Ship Tease moment from a tree branch. Then she accidentally rustles it, killing the moment.
Sunset accidentally teleports herself into the branches of the Ponyville library when she sees Celestia's guards arriving in Ponyville, and proceeds to curl into a ball and hope the guards don't notice her.

In Of Guards And Thieves, the Thieves can hide in bushes to avoid being seen by the guards. Of course, the Guards can pull the same trick to get the drop on the Thieves...

Warrior Cats: In The Sun Trail, the first book of the Dawn of the Clans arc, Gray Wing finds a cat hiding in a clump of bracken he had just walked by. This is very embarrassing for him, as he had just been berating his nephew Jagged Peak for claiming they were being watched.

In Surviv.io, the circular shrubs will conceal the player who goes inside them, with only a very thin outline barely visible through the lighter foliage. However, weapons substantially longer than pistols will poke out a little regardless, though this can be mitigated by switching to grenades (since melee weapons like axes will also stick out.) The largest military backpack will also stick out somewhat, though only highly attentive players will spot that. Also, consuming healing items will still produce the tell-tale red/green indicators, along with the sound that'll be heard by those in the immediate vicinity.
When indoors, potted plants are the equivalents to the shrubs. However, tables provide more reliable concealment, due to their much larger surface area.
Then, some players will simply shoot at the bushes and/or tables just to be sure. A trickier, but often safer way to hide is instead to find two-three trees that are so close to each other that their foliage intersects, creating darker zones that make it impossible to spot the players standing underneath them.

Jumpin' Jack Flash. When Terry goes to the British embassy, she tries to hide behind a potted plant while passing on the message from their spy, which of course only makes her look more conspicuous.

In Untitled Goose Game, the goose is small enough to be completely covered by the hedges, from which it can then emerge to dramatically surprise the human.

In Episode 6 of Chivalry of a Failed Knight, Ayase Ayatsuji tries doing a mix between this and Mobile Shrubbery with varying degrees of success. Stella and Shizuka don't notice until it's pointed out by Alice who had spotted her a week earlier. Ikki also noticed that he was being followed.

Played realistically and justified in Ranger's Apprentice, where the Rangers use camouflage cloaks and the shadows to blend in with the surroundings. The cloaks work best, obviously, amongst trees and foliage.

The Famous Five: When spying on and stalking villains, the Five often hide behind trees, up trees, and in the middle of prickly gorse bushes. In Five get into Trouble, Anne happens to be up a tree overhead when Dick is captured.
