I don't have that one, Pia. I don't know what the pollen parent is on it, so maybe the height comes from that?
I should have read your post before convention and I could have asked Danny about it. He and Hugo were there
and I ran into them a few times.

Hmm, my Sky Dancer are very short and flat growing and only about 1/3rd the height of my Queen of the Seas. I'll try to get a picture some day of them for you to compare to yours. I didn't think it got that big either. :hmm:
