What does the Tree of Hell smell like?
You all asked, so don't ever say that I don't deliver. One of my (many) great, past, unrequited loves is trained and employed as a landscape architect. Don't think I didn't relish the opportunity to ask her about the infamous "semen plant" you all seem to know a little too much about.
Tree of Heaven or the Ailanthus Altisma (botanical name, if you really want to impress your friends).

you say unrequited a lot, did you know?
while you are in rich white people land you should smell for the tree, it lines the streets off university ave in palo alto and it's elsewhere between there and foothill college (in los altos hills). if you get a good whiff you'll be a believer in the semen tree too.
also i like my name better than Ailanthus Altisma, i find Semen Tree much more distinguishing. :P

These trees covered our Catholic high school grounds. The air reeked of semen, especially in the Spring. But of course, being good Catholic girls we weren't supposed to know that!
Other names...Ajax Tree, Blowjob Bush, Spooge Shrub...the nuns had no idea what we were talking about!
And Tassy, thanks for the reminder of Palo Alto :-)

why is it that catholic school girls seem to have the MOST experience with semen?
and here i thought the priests liked the boys.
i'm catholic. i am sooooo allowed to make that joke. don't get all your panties in a twist.

We have these "cum trees" all over the place and late spring they are at their "peak".My wife and I get a kick out of these, she actually noticed the smell first;now it dominates our conversations while driving along the roads of NJ.
