Prediction: this somehow involves a small European country.
Just as the Japanese like the idea of square tomatoes, and the EU insists on straight bananas and cucumbers, there are some cultures that like shaped bushes. This shaping of bushes is called "topiary". There is a Dutch company that makes similar machines to cut globes, and they also make machines that cut cones, cylinders and pyramids. They are manufactured as nursery equipment, and what is often forgotten is that when you get these bushes home you will need to trim them by hand, forever after.
