Salix flamingo tree how tall?

Just bought a flamingo tree because I love the colour but the tag does not say the size it will grow can someone tell me?
Also I read on the net to keep it pruned as the colour will go if I dont any advice?
many thanks

    alot of salix are grafted, so it will depend on the root stock, but usually they grow 3-4ft tall - and yes keep it well pruned or you will end up with a twiggy tree, with few leaves

    Keep it in a pot to keep it shrub size rather than growing a tree and cut back the shoots each year to keep the variegation going! NB needs to be well fed and watered!
