My little compressa is four feet tall and about a foot wide. Nice shape and small root ball makes it suitable for long term container plant. Zones may vary since it is a temperate weather plant, but with cooler conditions can go up to planting zone 9. Can get as tall as 6 feet.

Has had a tendency to have trouble with spider mites. Needs to be throughly hosed down regularly to keep the mites in check.
