Ah, those crazy Santa Cruzians. Sexy tree too much for some Westside neighbors. I love the bit that says:

All trees can be seen as "phallic," but some would argue this eugenia is especially so. Viewed from the front, the hedge looks to have testicles, or perhaps bosoms....

The owner of the tree, Gillian Greensite, said she found it peculiar the plant has been there at least 15 years and suddenly someone is mad about it. She said no one has complained to her about the plant.

Well, which one is it? Testicles or bosoms? And no one complains for 15 years, and when they do so, they don't even approach the owner? People are weird. [via Blahblahblog]
