Is this tree planted too close to wall? (see photos)

Hi,
I just planed a cotoneaster cornubia next to my boundary wall.
Is it too close? Would it be easy to cut it back and not let it go inside my neighbor's garden too much?

Thanks.

Wouldn't say it's too close.are you planting other stuff in front of it. Anyway when it grows bigger it will keep the rain out of his shed!!!

If you want it to be a tree you would need to take the lower shoots off the stem. I would have thought it was a bit too close to the wall, it makes a fairly substantial shrub or tree.

Well since you can train fruit trees along walls anyway, I would say it doesn't matter.
