Here's one of mine. I have one that gets less water and more shade and that one has virtually stayed the same size for 5 years. You need to shape them early because they do harden and then there isn't too much you can do with them. This one has had some of the hanging branches taken off so that it doesn't totally cover up the garden.

Wood is good as a trainer but if you need to do any correction it has to be at least two stakes to hold the tree in place. Use velcro or some other stretchable material as they grow quickly if given enough water. This tree is 5 years old.
