Very nice Chalyse! I've been in this house 1 1/2 years now and I don't know how long mine has been in the ground but it hasn't grown very much at all. I'm just now noticing small "nubs" on one side that are just jutting out a bit ... don't know if that will be "arms" because it doesn't appear that this plant has ever been cut back. It's only about 7 feet in height and seems to be a very slow grower. I've been thinking of chopping the top off and letting it callous over and planting it but never seem to find the time.
Cute dog!
