whoever was asking how big H patens gets this shot was taken early Sunday am before they finished a fencing project here for documentation (in case they really messed up). the privacy fence to the left is 6' high, the one perpendicular (which if continued would run on the right of the shrub) is 7' high. This one shrub is about 10 years old. It will freeze to ground level every single winter here and is cut back that far. that's ok though, a lot of winter-growing, spring blooming bulbs live around the base of it (well hidden and sleeping now). This will get another foot or so talll and definitely add another 2' width in all directions.
