Here's a monster Fuchsia for ya ! Pedrick'sCorner correctly identified it as "Jack Sieverns" a while back. This one will take full sun here, but I have it in a northeast location and you can see by the photo it is close to 10' tall and about 8 feet across.
It only has 3 main "canes" but I've trained it in an umbrella shape using the pinching method mentioned earlier. Right now it's nearing the end of it's first main flush of blooms so they're concentrated on the ends of the stems, but a few weeks ago it had triple the # of flowers on it.
I've taken to keeping it this size because in the past I let it get even bigger and it collapsed on itself. It needed a flying buttress around it. LOL
I don't even bother feeding this one because it's prolific enough w/o any feeding.
In the winter it gets cut back to the 3 main canes and just a few nubs on each cane.
