...So does this mean you're not going to be profiling this species in the Urban 365 project? ;-)
"Urban Species #366: Fakus arboris. It was an easy identification since this genus and family, Fakaceae, are monotypic. It's native to wherever we decide to build them and seems to have co-evolved with a variety of humans, Homo sapiens sapiens var. NIMBY, which often complained of the unsightly nature of a related species. ..." etc. =D
I need to get pictures of the ones just north of Monument, Colorado. They have weird circles of branches just on the very top - they look worse than if they had not camoflauged them at all.
In Palm Springs they have bogus palm trees but they're really dirty looking and stiff. There used to be a website called fraudfronds.com or something with photos of all these different pseudobotanical antennas.
