Frilly, my Burning Bush is about 16 years old, 8' high and just as wide. It probably took 6 or 7 years to get that big. I bought it at a tree nursery and it was pretty big to start with. I keep mine pruned on the bottom because of the under plantings. I would think you shouldn't trim it at all if you want top to bottom fullness. Your hedge is going to look really pretty in the fall with all the red leaves.
