Monisha,
Well, my eyes are getting old...went back to Dirr to see what else
was said and realized that he was describing 'Bakeri', not 'Bacheri'.
Have done a fairly extensive search of the web and cannot find
'Bacheri' as a cultivar. Now, are you certain of this name? If you
are, then what I told you is not correct.
If your cultivar is 'Bakeri', Dirr says this: "Deeper blue than
foliage of 'Argentea' and possibly better than 'Moerheimii', after 32
years a specimen in the Arnold Arboretum was only 12' tall and 6'
across."...and that's all he says about the cultivar tho' he notes
that the species is slow growing..

> Thanks for the responses regarding "Bacheri"s height. Does Michael
Dirr say anything else about this cultivar? I'm seriously thinking of
getting one, but since it is fairly expensive I want to be sure it is
worth it.
