Actually, the tree itself is scattered in pieces throughout Adam Starr's backyard. It's the 8-foot stump still standing that has captured everyone's attention. "I don't see what the big deal is," said neighbour June Thompkins. "It's funny."
Starr said the 35-foot pine tree behind his house died and needed to come down, so he asked a friend to chop it down.
As a bonus, the friend left behind a one-of-a-kind sculpture in the shape of a male body part.
"I thought he was going to carve something," said Starr, "but I didn't think he would carve this."
However, Starr has no intention of keeping it up. The City of Tempe has cited him for having a dead tree, that must be removed by next Wednesday.
