Have you done any research on the tree?

It shows to be able to be planted in our zones but it gets 12 feet wide....how is that going to work in your 2 ft wide planting space?
Also, I would recommend checking out Howard's book "Texas Trees" that would recommend a good privacy tree that would do really well in our climate.
