Just thought I would suggest an alternative to this conifer for those looking for this camouflage effect on the bark. The Magnolia X soulangiana, which on average, grows 10 to 15 feet in just 10 years. They generate beautiful pink or purple flowers and grow 20 to 30 feet high and just as wide. There are also Dogwoods you could consider.
