all trees look different, so it may never resemble the one in the picture but the good thing is that u can shape them and trim them to look like anything u want, its an art form :) and its not that hard it just takes alot of attention :) i just started growing them myself
I have tried to grow one of these, it took like 3 weeks and I got impatient and tried to dig up the root to see if it was beginning to grow, it sure was, and I accidentally broke the root
