Today was the day to make my Adora Standards and I was asked to show how I do it. This was a plant that I kept for two years before making a standard of it, I could have done it last year but this was my biggest plant last year and I decided to see how large I could grow a brug up North in Zone 6 (my zone). I planted it right in the ground this year, last year it stayed in a blue 22 gal container. This plant reached 9-10 feet tall this year. To large for me to handle or even think about digging up. Here is a picture of my sister in law standing next to the large brug she is 5'9".
