Controversial ficus hedge at Trump club is history

Donald Trump's hedge is history.

The Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., City Council has voted unanimously to order the celebrity mogul to remove a 10-foot-high hedge of ficus trees planted earlier this year at his Trump National Golf Club without city permission. The council will take final action Dec. 18, and Trump will then have three weeks to remove the hedge.

Hundreds of ficus trees were planted to screen the driving range from nearby homes, but neighbors complained that some of them blocked their multimillion-dollar ocean views.
