It’s vigorous here. It is the more vigorous of the collection at the, now, Home Orchard Education Center (old HOS arboretum). Though, I don’t know the sequence of planting there, maybe 37 years ago. And it is the more southernly planted of three (two desert kings (dks) and this latterula) in close proximity, I’d suspect it had a head start and provided shade to the dks’. It is the monster there, but I’ve also seen dks that, unchecked could only be picked from 2nd floor deck, and brown turkeys that have also been given up on.… too tall to give any serious competition to birds and squirrels.

Definitely transitioning to pruning strategies well illustrated here,  in your posting about 4 months ago, John, titled: keeping desert king small enough. And a parallel/complimentary discussion shepherded by Viron, titled: Verns brown turkey pruning.
