That's the nicer narrow leaf form . I have the older wide leaf that was sold in the 80's. They are second generation as the first were all 20+ years old,killed in a week of rodent gnawing. When you live next a empty lot,you get large numbers of critters other city people dont get.

I have this form. It's suppose to grow very quickly; however, mine has not. It doesn't get enough water, unfortunately with out drought.

I definitely know about the critters. Even though, I live in the city there's coyotes, parrots, tree rats millions of skunks, and the list goes on-and-on.
