Ice cream bean tree

[rizla023]

Hello! I spent a lot of time debating whether to plant my ice cream bean seedling in my backyard. Trying to provide shade with a tropical flare. 
 

I am still intimidated by the size. I do not have room for a legit 60 foot tree but I have read they prune really well.

does anyone else here have one and can share tips?

Hi there yes they are a fast growing tree that provides great shade but be warned they have a large root system I removed my 3 trees at least 10 years ago and iam still getting suckers coming up off the roots they are a large tree my ones became invasive from seeds and suckers pruning will contain there size in foliage but the roots are another problem good luck but they were are great pioneer tree in the shade they provided my new garden then I removed them after they did there job and where getting to big  not around my house for those big trees
