sorry , john_ not,,,,,are we seeing the 1 gals. in this shot ?

Glendale heights , ron

The one gallons are sitting in the shade waiting to be planted. The plant in question is off center left. It was a 7 or 10 gallon, don't recall. I have a spot for it and know that most tend to stay fairly narrow.

I don't mind doing some candle pruning to keep it very narrow for the next 10 years or so. After that, I suspect that I'll just want to sit back and relax.

I'm trying to avoid a situation where it outgrows the area and I need to remove a nice specimen. I'm learning from some earlier mistakes.
