Malus Laura

Good Morning! Does anyone have photos of a fully grown Malus Laura, they could share? I just ordered one and have seen conflicting guidance and images on the final height/spread and overall look across various websites. I’ve attached two photos I have found which show the discrepancy I am seeing between the overall look and style - thank you!

    According to the RHS it is a dwarf columnar type and it should grow into a fastigate form 2-3m in height after 10 years.  However, I suspect they could be pruned to achieve other forms so are best not pruned at all if you want to retain the fastigate habit (apart from removing any stray horizontal growth.)
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
