It has to be about 15 years old by now. They don't get to be as old as most tree's but I think they are good for 30 years or so. Toppling over in cold wet soil is the main reason they are lost. So far so good.

Fingers crossed Stan!! It’s a beauty. Never seen one so tall, well, of course I haven’t! :-)

lol,Kate,not a lot of these I know. Not your conventional garden here. Or conventional gardener.
I really don't know how much taller these can get. Most- all -- internet photos of them at tallest are in this range. Not like I find "twice as tall" photos of them.
One thing also Kate..when I bought this in 2004 or even 2003,they were all new to the San Francisco bay area in even being offered for sale. Then,it was about 2' or so. I took a chance that it would survive outdoors. So far it has.

It looks awesome! I pass one on the way to work. It was thinned out recently. It’s probably 50 years old. It’s about twice as tall as your Euphorbia. I think this Euphorbia can grow to live much older than 30 years.
