Corogold ,sad to hear about you loosing trees to the government, I have gorilla grows every year and I try and keep the plants around a meter and a half tall , and a meter and a half wide ,having that long of a grow season you could almost do a scrog with them , My point is if they dont stand out they dont get seen just something to think about . I would love to grow a tree but I have about 10 weeks of veg before they start to bloom ,so even if they are 2 feet tall when they go out in the woods they only grow ,to about 5 to 6 feet high but very wide lol good luck and dont get caught lol
