Reading The Garden today we were surprised to see the comment that these
trees are slow growing and need training to reach the desired layered
effect. We planted one when we got married in 2000 and reckon it has grown
between a foot and eighteen inches each year. And without any intervention
from us, it has grown into a perfect layered shape.

I can certainly vouch for this. I saw it when first planted and then
again earlier this summer. It has made remarkable growth.

Actually, you're urg's very own Cupid and are responsible for the whole
damned thing! ;-)
