I long ago came to the conclusion that the statement "Grows to x metres" refers to the first 12 months - after that all bets are off. I once made the mistake of planting a 'dwarf' lilipilly
- it was 5m high and 3m across before it went. Presently I have a nice screen of lilipillys across the back fence. They're up to about 4m and I'm going to invest in some pruning gear before i have Bogan's problem.
