Re: Dodonea viscosa 'Purpurea' or 'Saratoga'

They will get taller than 10 feet, in time.
 
But they're almost always planted for screening and generally clipped hedgelike at a chosen height.
 
They're also planted for the "small tree" look and that, too, requires selective pruning; again, that means they can and should be kept at any height the owner wants.

Hi all,
 
Has anyone ever seen this variety of a mature Dodonea in the landscape.  If so can you tell me the maxiumum heigth and width you have ever seen it grow.  I have never seen one taller than 10 feet and no wider than 6 feet.  I am recommending three of these to be planted by someone and they are concerned it will get too tall.
 
Thanks,
