Currently, it's 4 trunks, the tallest at six feet, the shortest at 4. We're in the northernmost reach of it's range, so I'm pretty sure that I won't get the 20 foot tall trunks that the plants can develop further south, but I'm hoping for 10 feet or so eventually... When it reaches it's maximum height, it'll fall over. Then the growing tip will turn to point up and it'll continue growing, with more plants growing up from the roots... Eventually, they can form dense, inpenatrable thickets.

These things are cazy wicked with their sharp bayonets! We used to have one in our front yard when I was a kid and it had to be dug around and pulled out with chains to a vehicle...it posed too much danger to us kids... (my mom felt)!

That sounds like it won't be in my garden! Good thing you thought ahead and planted it in the alley!!
