That is impressive. I wish they would get that big around here. So you keep it in the ground year round?

Wow! Wow! And WOW! That's one super looking Brug! Awesome size & what a great flush! I guess it's true - things are bigger in Texas! :) Thanks for sharing such an inspiring pic!

I would take a flush like that ANYTIME! Where in TX are you?

I cant keep them like that all year round. I'm in Houston. We cover the brug with some old blankets that we dont need. This the only one that seems to get this large out of the 3 we have. My mom just got fustrated with the other 2 so she cut them off. They were about 1/3 the size of this one. I prune them around march. I think the max height is around 12 to 14ft because I never it get any taller than that.

I'm most impressed with the deep green, healthy-looking leaves! They set off the flowers so well.

Here is some more pics form today.

Stop!! Stop!! lol! You're making my mouth water! Drool everywhere! Not a pleasant sight - trust! :)

She's a 'PERDY' one - no two ways about it!

Well I'm in love. Mike, you are not the only one drooling. That is a beautiful Brug. Does she have a name? How old is she? You have done well with her. She looks very healthy.

I envy you, and congratulate you at the same time. Beautiful!

I want to move. That is gorgeous. WE are all drooling. LOL

That is a beautiful brug. It rivals the one we have in our Botanical Gardens here.

Wow!!! Just Gorgeous!
You have done a super job!
Thank you for sharing!

It's raining a cold fall rain here tonight, and dying fall leaves are coming down with the rain.

Then I see this picture, and realize that living in Michigan may not be all that it's cracked up to be. I do love the different seasons, and Texas is SO hot--but man, that's just a gorgeous plant!

Wah!
