Default Re: Upham Giant?

Don't know if this helps but I've seen a massive Basjoo only once in the UK the mat was about 25 feet tall. I believe it was a normal Basjoo in perfect conditions not a special hybrid. I was on a Garden tour at the time and the gardener said it had always grown that tall and was just a Basjoo as far as he knew. It was in an open sheltered garden with very good well rotted compost and in soil that had been skillfully inproved for many years.I'm not sure if the gardener used Winter protection or not.
Later
