I have 2 of these trees that are 4 years old(15gal when planted). 1 looks great and has bloomed every year the other still looks like I just planted it. They are within 60ft of each other in the yard and on the same watering.. The good looking one really hasn't grown much in height/width just filled out. The other one is about the same size as when planted but has never bloomed. It does lose it leaves in the winter but promptly gets them back.
