    Smoke trees will get big over time.If you prefer there are smoke bushes that will not get as big.They are not a messy bush.All the is needed when planting is peat moss in the bottom of the hole.

    I just bought a tiny one (about 12" tall with 8 leaves). So far I have it in a medium size pot till it gets bigger. I also need info on how long it takes to grow, etc. I guess Google could help but I thought someone here might have some great idea's.
