Like most plants it depends how you site them in the landscape.
Water, soil, fertilizer,mulch all play a roll on the plants health and success.

Springtime growing conditions are dramatically different in both of the photos.
The plants shown in both photos are taken a few days apart and are within a mile of one another.
The difference in total height will 6ft vs 20ft+ at end of season

That's so interesting! Why is the parking lot one so much smaller than the backyard one?

I have twice gotten basjoos to plant at my parents' house, and both times they died when I planted them in ground into a full sun location, even after having hardened them a bit first. I'm hoping this year's one survives after longer period of hardening, but it's still quite small and slow!
