Trumpet vine:How big is big?

9 years ago

I have an example in my back yard that has a trunk a good 6-8 inches in diameter. It was nearly this big when I moved in here 25 years ago, so I have no idea how old it is. FYI I would never recommend planting one unless you can find a spot where it's roots can't spread! But I have to admit that in years when it blooms out strongly it is a stunning sight.

Just curious...
