Man lovingly trims garden foliage into shape of 18 ft penis

Do you see what it is yet?
Get your mind out of the gutter…
We’re just kidding. It is in fact an 18 ft topiary sculpture of a penis, loftily looking down on neighbours from a residential Worcestershire street.
So there we are. Tree surgeon Chris Bishop wanted to excite the neighbours with his professional skill, so created his arboreal sculpture from the Cypress Tree in his back garden.
Because even in horticulture you have to show skin to get noticed these days.

Chris Bishop, from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, has spent the last three years encouraging the 25-year-old Cypress tree to be a grower AND a shower before whacking out his specialist tools to give the tree its annual hourly trim. The monster member stands proud in Chris front garden much to the bemusement of his neighbours. SEE CATERS COPY
Chris is single, FYI (Picture: Caters)
Chris, aged 43, spent a long time perfecting it – three years in fact to get the tip just right after noticing it had naturally grown into an anatomical shape.
‘If it caused any offense I would chop the head off. I don’t want to offend anyone, I just want to make them smile,’ he said.
The gardener – who happens to be single – added: ‘I’m a tree surgeon and spend my whole time trimming other people’s bushes.’
Neighbour Emily Cooper, 45, said: ‘To be honest with you once you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all!’
But another neighbour said: ‘Him and his mates thought it was hilarious.
‘I find it very offensive, remarks are always made by people coming past. It’s a massive eye-sore.’
There could be more to come as Chris, who lives with his 17-year-old son, plans to add in a set of testicles when the shrub has burgeoned enough.
