I would estimate that ours is roughly 12' tall and the same around. The
books say around 6' but ours is near the soakaway and obviously profits
accordingly!

We'll look forward to meeting you. There's a map and directions on the web
site but ring us if you need further help. I used to dislike Gunnera but
I've now become rather fond of it! It's funny how one's perception of a
plant can change depending on where it is. But I still think they look
quite triffidish!
