Just like kids, you have to start training them young, if you can! Ma'afala is supposed to be a more compact variety. Mine has leaves down to near 1' from the ground. It is less than about 10' tall because I kept cutting off the tips of branches that tried to go straight up so it had to bush out. It is very dense and is 10-12' wide. It was planted Nov. 25, 2012 and I cut back the top then, but I did not record how tall it was then. It is much denser and less upright than a root cutting a Samoan friend gave me, which is about the same height.
This is the variety that the NTBG (National Tropical Botanical Garden) tissue cultured: http://www.ntbg.org/
I do not remember where I bought mine, nor of a source, other than checking with NTBG.
