Congrats! Sounds about right for DB. Mine started blooming right around that height. Now the mat has matured and my latest bloom is about 8 - 9 feet.

I had the same experience as Momoese -- these were pretty short the first time they flowered for me, only 6'. The follower pups are already 7.5 and 8' and no flowers yet.

The second p-stem on a mat ("first ratoon") is usually taller than the first p-stem for all varieties, but Dwarf Brazilian seems especially flexible in its height.

I'm dying to see how you wrap that one up for the "cold" weather; I have a couple of Yankee coats I haven't tossed yet that would make her sweat bullets at -10F.

True gardeners make it up as they go along and have an innate ability to tune into their babies' needs --those that listen! BTW, go take a look at the 2nd picture I posted of that 2nd pup wannabee. I'm going to let it be (though removed spent leaves that seem to collect water which might encourage rot on all I brought home) but this noob is totally confuzzled.
