I look forward to seeing it grow.

A bit dried out by the time it was received. Received notice of the processing and delivery. With the information I scheduled my landscaper to schedule his time. The package arrived late without any progress on the tracking number (not your fault. So the tree had to set around until the landscaper could fit me in his schedule. My main issue is the size of the tree and root container. The container was to have been 3 gal., at best it was 1.5 gal. The tree truck was not much wider the a skinny stick. The worst is the picture seen on the web site, it looks like a full wide expanse of the plant. The description say 5' wide in the information. I have seen other information sites saying it will grow to 25' H x 25' W. How many plants are in your picture? Will it grow to 5' or 25' wide?
