A friend sent me an email with these pictures and a (poorly-written) explanation which reads:

These trees were grown in Santa Cruz CA, the year I don’t know , but the man
that grew them never told anyone how he did it . then in around 1999 the
owner of Nob Hill foods in Gilroy CA moved them to his park in Gilroy and
they are doing well.

Insane, huh?!?!
