    I was Googling something else and came across this page. http://www.letsgogardening.co.uk/Information/WorldRecords_p2.htm

    I can't get over a 25 foot Dahlia. Come to think of it I don't supose many people could get over that. :D

    But I think I will give the Thuja occidentalis tree in Canada a miss. It has only grown 4 inches in 155 years. :euw:

    The rose with the most blooms... has anyone ever counted the original Kiftsgate... it must have many times more than 5, 500.
