I have planted that Hawthorne from Mr. Fahey. So far it is about 3' tallI've got a seedling of it, and my experience has been similar, it has some rust lesions on the branches - I pruned them off last weekend, when I planted it out in a somewhat boggy spot alongside and below the driveway with some grafted mayhaws, pawpaws, and seedling redbuds. But, it did have pretty good red fall color for me last year.
and has shown no damage at -30F, but it has been subject to Hawthorne rust.
It's not defoliated, but isn't particularly attractive if you was the plant
for edible landscaping.
