Well, my husband and I were looking at my eight year old bush - the first
one I put in as
a three way branched 5 inch high baby. We estimate it is 7 to 8 feet in
diameter and at least 3 feet high! My others aren't quite so large. One
is 3 feet wide and about 2 feet high and the other is nearly four feet
wide and 2 1/2 fett in diameter. These two are younger.
The Somerset is 3 feet tall and at least 5 feet wide. It also is younger
