keeping a corylus in check

I've got a lovely corylus maxima pupurea from a cutting, it's been kept
at about 2-3 foot so far because I don't know where in the garden to
plant it.
If I plant it then how small can I keep it without ruining the shape etc
too much?
I love the copper colour but Tom hates the colour claiming trees should
be "green" (Might have something to do with him being colour blind!
If I would have to severely chop it back all the time so it looks
mutilated to death I would rather give it away for someone to grow it
properly.
The leaves look absolutely lovely in the spring, but by midsummer they turn
a very dark shade of green - green with a dull almost black blush. Still
interesting in my opinion!
Regards, Barbara.
