Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I got GM to measure it and verify as soon as she arrived today :-) The flower's coming out now so I suspect this is as good as it's going to get.



9 foot 11 inches, or 303cm.

It may not get any higher but I'd say the size of the Flower head has a way to go yet AtC

Top work :-)

I'm at 9'3" and the flower looks like it is forming. Hopefully a bit more out of it yet. Would like to hit 3m :-)

I just went and checked mine and even though a neighbour watered them I think they are done for, they got toppled over in the wind :(
