This is a gorgeous tree which I bought as a 18 inch sapling last year & it has shot up to a height of almost 6 feet in 12 months.

It has beautiful silvery oblong leaves which feel like cats ears. I cut mine back a few weeks ago & it is already starting to grow again with loads of little buds along the branches. It has yet to flower but I'll post a photo as soon as it does
