I like your attention to my comment about the rate of maturation. The difficulty will be sustaining or increasing the rate of maturation of your plant.

Last autumn, the rates of maturation of both my 'Truly Tiny' and 'Little Prince' were negative for several months because of a mite infestation that I discovered too late because my eyesight isn't what it used to be. I eradicated the mites with Avid and bifenthrin but not before a lot of damage was done.
