It doesn't grow any where near that size here in San Diego. Usually, it tops out about 20 ft/ 6 meters.

I've seen this Hibiscus in the rain forest of Hawaii. It does truly grow to become a giant tree.
In California, there's probably some which are approaching 30 ft/ 10 meters...however, 12ft/4meters is more the norm.
