Last week was palm tree trimming time. We now have 111 palm trees and it cost $2200 for the trimming. As the trees get taller the cost to trim goes up too. I remember well we had only three trees when we started. One day in 1993 the maintenance man, Chet Hutsell, called me in my classroom to say he could purchase some palm trees for $10 each. I told him to proceed. He purchased 95 of those little things. Now look at them.
