We touched upon that issue yesterday. Also, there are a variety of different overall heights to the existing Bouganvillea there. We planted them that way intentionally. It would be impossible to prune them in a level manner, following the Ficus hedge pattern, unless we cut the tallest ones down to the level of the shortest ones. I obviously misunderstood Mr. Epstein. I thought we agreed to prune them back to their original state. Again, the only means of making this mass into a similar form as the Ficus hedge, "boxed', is to prune all plants at the same height. I will do this next week if requested. EFTA00885297
