It was a nice specimen, about 4' tall. I brought it home in the back of my car. As you can see, it has grown rapidly since I planted it 5 years ago. Yesterday, I limbed it up, which gives me more room for a perennial garden. (I had to cut the lower limbs because they were blocking access to my perennial gdn. I also tied some of the limbs together, trying to achieve a more upright growth habit These trees take up a lot of space. Now, I'll definitely need a ladder next spring to harvest the fruit. I think they grow up to 30' tall x 20+ wide. They grow so fast, it's not necessary to waste money on large specimens.
