Pseudo infra-red
I agree they are not perfect, but they were not shot as infra-red .Also evergreen trees do not come out as white because of their structure.It also depends which type of IR film you are trying to imitate.Kodak was a grainy film and the later Konica had very little grain.
I won my first club competitions printing Kodak on a hard paper so that the picture came out like a pencil drawing.The negatives were so dense that it took over 30mins under the enlarger.The results were nowhere near the traditional concept of IR.
I tried Konica but sometimes it looked no different to ordinary monochrome, so I think it depends what effect you are looking for as to which way you go.
