While looting the military base south-east of Nadbor in Livonia I found a player-made base inside one of the buildings. I dropped almost everything in my inventory right by a tree in order to be able to loot everything I needed from their base without needing to parse through what I already had on me. After dropping all my stuff, including two tents, I could not pick up those items from the ground again. I could neither pick them up through tab nor pick them up by hand. The only indication that they were still objects in the world was the fact that I could see them and when I got around 2 meters away the HUD element for "medium tent" appeared when I hovered my crosshair on it, however I could still not pick it up. I am guessing this was due to the fact that the tree hitbox hid them in some way, though I don't really know.

I would assume you would have to approach a pine tree, on of the larger ones, stand right next to it and drop your items. It may have been due to the fact that I dropped my tents to, which in some way masked all my items somehow. But the main thing is to stand right next to a tree and drop your items (in my case I dropped an excessive amount of items since I wanted to clear most of my inventory).
It was a large pine tree.
Event Timeline
Packed tents can make it so items can't be picked up that are under them. If a packed tent is thrown and lands upside down it can be very hard or not possible to pick it up.
Tree leaves can block things too like the driver seat of a car but I've never had them block items in vicinity. The exception is the Christmas tree as it glitches items dropped in it all the time.
