I interact with a lot of landscapers during the day at work and it seems a lot of them are either not very knowledgeable themselves about plants, or aren’t educating their clients about options and limitations. I keep having to explain that a plant doesn’t grow to say five feet and then just stop. Some pruning/trimming will eventually be necessary if you care about limiting the size of a plant.
I always end up referring folks to dwarf conifers like Slowmound mugo pine or something similar if limiting size is a concern.
