Do you select plants that have a maturity of the max size you are looking for, or do you select say a 7-8ft shrub and trim it every year to keep it the size you want?

I always go with the maturity of that max size and buy one in the 3 to 5 gallon size rather than the 1 gallon starter size. They will still need a bit of trimming or shaping on and off but they definitely hold their shape much better and don't end up woody...too many branches and not enough leaves.
