I pruned it back for now.  I may end up having to move it earlier 
anyhow.

I hate it when plants get bigger than expected!  :)  I have a 
Blue Velvet[TM] hypericum that I planted three years ago from
a quart-size pot -- it's now five feet wide and crowding out 
the Abelia mosaensis.

Or the Leptodermis oblonga that was supposed to be 18-24" high
and is at least five feet in *front* of my perennial bed.  :)

Someday I'll learn!

Oh no!  I hope that it recovers for you.  Those are nice trees to
have in the winter time.
