boundaries of Reis, Yamauchi and Enomoto, good luck bamboo and red palms were planted. These offer little in the way of a privacy screen and are negligible in screening noise, exhaust fumes or curious clients of the PPB. Rehab did plant podocarpus which are doing very well and effectively screen most of the boundary behind Mrs. Gushiken's. Three plants did die after being pruned to a bare trunk several years after they were planted and have not been replaced.
