    38 + 4 = 42 (1 year); 42 + 4 = 46 (2 years); 46 + 4 = 50 (3 years); 50 + 4 = 54 (4 years); 54 + 4 = 58 (5 years)

    45.5 + 2.5 = 48 (1 year); 48 + 2.5 = 50.5 (2 years); 50.5 + 2.5 = 53 (3 years); 53 + 2.5 = 55.5 (4 years); 55.5 + 2.5 = 58 (5 years)

    It will take 5 years before the trees are the same height, 58 inches.
