Lol Entlie mine has had "moving" experiences for the last 6 years .. I've pretty much moved it about every 2 years .. I moved it again this year and like you told it that this was the last time .. It's amazing how these guys are so movable. On moving years it gets up to about 8 feet. On non moving years it gets over 10 feet tall.

Like those above I cut it down in the Spring but not all the way to the ground I leave about 8 inches since new shoots will show up on the "old" wood as well as come up from the roots.

I grew this one from seed .. it's brothers and sisters have all found new homes but I kept this one because it looks like someone took a paint brush and tipped it in various places.
