I have had my tree for 4 years in the north Dallas area and am quite pleased with it's growth. After receiving the 3 foot stick, as we called it, the trunk girth has gone from 1.5 inches to about 10 inches and is now about 27 feet. We especially enjoy the lavender scented flowers that bloom for a whole month each spring.
I rave about this tree a lot as it's quite impressive.
Cheers,
Wm.
