My biggest customer in southeast Pennsylvania planted one probably about 2003 as a small plant in part-shade. It kept slowly growing until in 2017 to 2020 it is about 6 feet high and wider and not so little. Its foliage is brighter yellow in spring than later in summer or fall. I have not seen it turn red in the fall in this location; maybe too much shade. I do spray it with Liquid Fence because I have seen the deer eat it down twice without spray, not that they are always anxious for it.
