I live in Hawaii and the brugs can get to be trees here. Be careful though because the first one I grew got to be about twelve feet high but had a thin trunk. The weight of the flowers was so great that the trunk split in two. Now I keep them at a smaller height until the trunk has plenty of girth to it.
I am going to try to add a photo of a brug growing "up country" here in Hawaii...my husband is 6"2" for comparison.
