It will eventually develop a leader to attain some height but you shouldn't be afraid of a little judicious pruning. If you study the art of Penjing (Chinese miniaturization pruning that Bonsai came from), you can use the same principles with landscape specimens. Seems like every year at least one of the gardening shows or magazines show cases someone with a postage stamp yard with trees having mature form but kept at a fraction of the size. So it can be done with both deciduous and coniferous trees and bushes.

Go look at your local botanical gardens.
