Ours is planted down behind the barn which is a bit of a messy area. I hadn't seen any suckers but Ric mows that area so I wasn't sure that I would have. But while I was down there taking pictures and noticed one that was off to one side where it may have escaped the mower as we have been working on the chickie pen in that area. Mine is about 6ft tall right now, a fast grower I think. As far as sun or shade, I'm really not too sure how much sun it really gets there. The back of the barn does get full afternoon sun. But there is a very large maple that could be giving it some shade and I think that the barn would probably block most of the morning sun but it could be getting some. Also there is a small structure that could also have given it some shade as well. I truly couldn't say how much sun it really does get. I will try to pay more attention the next sunny day I am home to get a better idea.
