Hi Jeff, actually the height and growth pattern of Brugmansias has more to do with the type and age of a plant and where the original cutting was taken from, more than anything you might do. B. Charles Grimaldi can grow several feet at year -- up to six feet a year. B. Frosty Pink can also grow large. Your plants will grow larger over time, and new growth will come up from the base. Once the new growth is large enough, you can cut them off or pull them up, if you like, to start new plants. These new plants will have a different shape of their own. They may grow taller and "Y" higher up on the plant. Since your cuttings are fairly new, I would let them grow into any shape they wish for now. Pruning will only set them back and rob you of future flowers. When it is time for them to come in for the winter, then you will have to prune them back for overwintering. The tree below was a three-foot-long cutting two years ago.
