We bought it for the fabulous fall color but were so happy to find it grows very narrow so is perfect for a small garden crowded with choice plants. A good neighbor. It is about 15 feet high now. It was in a 5 gallon container and was two feet tall when we bought it at the Biltmore in Asheville. It is a fast grower too. Love everything about it and didn't know about the bark interest, will have to watch for it.<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-30859008282044685822009-07-29T14:53:45.362-04:002009-07-29T14:53:45.362-04:00Anna, You nut!!

It's such a nice morning except for that little yapping pitiful thing. I'm going out on the porch and see why he is so distressed.
