Heres another pic!

Persian ironwood.

Thanksâ¦any idea how big this will get? My neighbor planted this few years agoâ¦and I fear it will start taking over my side yard. We have many plants, etc that require full sunâ¦.

Persian Ironwood is one of the finest ornamental trees one could plant and becomes a medium sized tree.

That one will never tower over your side yard but it will get somewhat bigger. It's not apparent if it's the upright variety 'Vanessa' or the regular round form so I can't say if mostly taller or wider is in its future.

Please enjoy it...it is a better choice than 90% of the ornamental garden plants people choose to buy these days.

Comparing mine to your neighbor's, mine must be the regular round form.
I agree, smivies, it's a nice tree and should be planted more. It's a very tough tree with nice fall color and mottled bark.
This picture was taken in the fall.
