1 gallon pot. Wondering how fast it grows?

Already in the gallery under its synonym Euphorbia alluadii.... though tempted to put it back under leucodendron since that's how most people know it... Plantlist.org in Kew (big naming plant site) has it this way. PS. commonly misspelled with and 'a' but pretty sure it's an 'o'.

Hm, this is the second plant I've added this week that I got told to delete because it's got a new name, despite doing a web search first. Gah.

When I added this plant last year I had always known it as the name you have it listed under... but when I looked it up just to see how tall it got (gets to be a tree in Africa) I was shocked to see this other name as the 'accepted' name as I had never heard of it... taxonomists can never leave anything alone.
