Subject Re: palm trees

would you be interested in something more exotic and more dramatic than the coconuts? if so I'll send some photos of the Panama hat palms. These a truly large specimen trees that make a statement and nobody else has them. Like the way you see the large date palms on LSJ from a long way off, these will stand out and certainly be seen.

Mr. Epstein; After consulting my partner we have come up with a price of $800.00 per tree. LSJ would be responsible for paying labor and equipment to remove and transport the trees. Since you have your own track hoe and operator (Jules), I would recommend sending both to the field as this will dramatically cut costs. We can probably load six to twelve trees per day depending on size. It is important to note that these are very large trees on average. As a comparison, you would only get six to eight of these trees on a 40 ft. container at a cost of $4000.00 shipping alone. These trees arc here already and I have never lost one to shock. I'm still working on some numbers to send you about the nursery project and III have them to you soon. I hope this information has been helpful and finds you well.

Best regards.

Mat.
