I think they're very cool. I had never heard of them until I saw an episode of Family Affair (1970) where a Japanese man (Teru Shimada) gave one to Jody. Years later I bought a seedling at Disney World, but I couldn't get it to grow.
Shimada also played one of Blofeld's subordinates in You Only Live Twice.
I don't know that tv show but I think these trees were pretty popular in the late 1960s / early 1970s, when my mother was still wearing miniskirts out on the town with her sisters (she denies this ever happened and says only her sisters wore them).
