Hey Terry,
The first bunch was about 8 feet tall. The second bunch is located in a different part of the yard and it is about 9 feet tall. Mind you, we have trees all over the yard. Some are planted in places they shouldn't be and are growing wonderfully and others are in the "ideal" location. But we were determined to have a couple survive the next big storm. And yes, I went out and talked with them right before each storm, did anybody else? I just wanted them to be prepared to get the wind blown out of them!
They are also not all planted together. So maybe two or three are growing together, but maily they are by themselves.
How tall are yours?
