I just puchased this marvelous tree. The tag says "fast-growing to 15 to 20 ft, high and wide". How fast is "fast" for this? I have a blank corner I want to fill. Will it really get that size?

I checked several sites and the Hakuro Nishiki variety will apparently get to that size. There are several things to watch and maybe pre-treat for such as scale, gall, and be careful as they are subject to root rot. Watch the drainage and watering frequency. Here is some info that can be found here at DG davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/56310. All the sites I looked stated fast growing but did not list how fast is fast. I can only guess that will depend on your area and the health of the shrub. Also on how well you care for it. Good luck hope this helps. Good luck.
