Even though this sun lover is sited on the north side of our house, it sits about 10 feet out from the wall and so gets a good amount of direct sun as it tracks across the sky in summer. I normally would have gone for at least a part-sun tree, but when I saw the spectacular leaf coloring I had to have it.  Normally a slow grower anyway, it’s grown approximately 0 inches in one year, so we’ll see if it actually puts on height in the next few years.
