I would also love to see it in autumn, I have not seen it in leaf.
When I got the tree on Monday, it was very obvious that it had lost its apex. (borer attack I think)
I spent some time carving out and raising the new apex and seriously reduced a couple of branches near the apex.
The new apex was pointing to the back so I selected a new front, took it out of its plastic tray and popped it into this PK pot.
Height is about 60cm

lovely trunk

. I think it will develop into a lovely tree in not very long.
My guess is about 12 inches tall?
