They can have many branches with Y's or forks like a tree or multiple trunks with Y's like a shrub if that helps. If the one from last year doesn't die back you will get flowers sooner. The ones that are huge with many flowers are in warm climates or are wintered over in a protected area to prevent freezing the stalks back or you wait til the late summer or fall to get new blooming size stalks.

Firstly, this pic is of more than one Brug, it is of 3 if I recall correctly. If you look closely and follow up the branches you can see where they keep Ying as they grow. It is the continuous Ying in the growing tips that give the nice canopy at the top and the flowers.

ha ha ha there you go again Ruth Ann! It looks like another monster brug. Ok more then one...still HUGE!!

Beautiful!!

Lucy I go green with envy every time I see one of Ruth Ann's brug pics! And to think she's in a colder zone then me.

Take heart Karyn, this season I hope to get down to only 10 of my most favourite Brugs and this fall keep them in the basement and close down their winter house. My back just can not do this any longer and I can see a time of no Brugs in my future. It is the pics of your plants that help me through our long winters, we each contribute pleasure to one another in this forum in some way or another.

Ruth Ann it will be a shame when the time comes and you can not grow them anymore :-(

My newest goal...get at least ONE like yours in my lifetime I have left lol
