Expect each plant to grow at least 5 feet high and 20+ feet wide, entangled with the others. Keep the 1st two feet from the ground clear of hanging vines and weeds, but mulch heavily. This way you will discourage vermin from living under the vines, plus you'll be able to find fruit that falls off the vines.
