I put a knee high mayhaw in my yard 2 yrs ago. Full sun, plenty of water and still barely waist high. It's very wirey and pruning isn't an issue now, but I can see it will be a big chore later. I'm starting to have second thoughts and may take it out to add another satsuma.
I'm in NW Houston.

I have a giant Mayhaw (15 ft tall and probably 25 ft wide). It makes plenty of fruit, but fighting whatever bug larvae gets in them (every single fruit will have a worm if I don't spray) is a constant chore and the end result is not really worth the effort, so you won't be missing anything, IMO.
