c. Shrub Trimming <br />• A small amount of Green Island Ficus and Dwarf Variegated Schefflera shrubs <br />are utilized around the future entry sign location. These species can be sheared <br />as a mass to provide uniform height. The edges of the mass should be leaned <br />inward and should be rounded off at the top, as opposed to straight sides with <br />square corners. Maintain the Green Island Ficus shrubs at about a 2' foot height <br />and the Dwarf Variegated Schefflera atabout a 3' height to create a tiered effect. <br />3. Specific Irrigation Requirements <br />• Some of the species utilized do not tolerate wet soil conditions for extended <br />periods (after the plants are established) and therefore, the irrigation should be <br />turned down in the areas adjacent to these plant types. These species include <br />European Fan Palms and Medjool Date palms. <br />4. Pest and Disease Management <br />• Care was taken to avoid plant species that are highly susceptible to insect <br />problems, however there are a few that need to be monitored and can typically <br />be easily controlled. Special attention should be paid to the Oleander trees to <br />ensure they remain insect free. <br />Ir''... : lig .:��.-i.lr �li�_l it �i Thf_I:4 !.I I' <br />Page 17 of 20 <br />182 <br />
