    Hi Marian,

    Lena, sent you some good ideas, just remember that if it grows fast, it will continue to grow fast even after it's at the height you want. Be prepared to handle that extra growth by learning how to trim them back as they grow. My BIL purchased trees that were fast growing but didn't account for that and ended up with trees that were way to high to trim by himself. I'd suggest looking at your local plant nursery and paying attention to the eventual height of the tree. Also, local nurseries know the best trees for your area so they are you best resource. I hope this helps. Wishing you the best.
