For comparison, mine is now about 5 feet, and still growing. Buds are still tight, so it's not gonna bloom imminently. The first year it bloomed it was almost 8 feet tall. http://badbear.com/dkramb/… (I've posted this picture before.) Subsequent years have been more like 4 feet to 5 feet. Last year I had multiple bloom stalks. This year I'm back to one.
