Hi Koen Gh,
Just to start your weekend nicely, here's another medieval penis tree I found:
Roman de la Rose;c. 1325-1353; Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; MS fr. 25526 f.160r

Not a tree, but green (Decretum Gratiani with commentary by Bartolomeo de Brescia, Italy, 1340-1345):

I don't know how the ancients liked their penises, but by the middle ages it seems the pictorial convention had shifted to the extremes: either completely hidden or extra large!
