Most are about 12 inches, I have 3 mothers I put out that are about 3 foot. Nothing like hiking into the woods with 3 footers tied up in a back pack. I was sweating bullets that afternoon. I have 21 out in 7 spots, I figure if half make it through the year I will be happy. I just used sticks and clear trash bags and made little tents for them. My bro's grandma is not doing so hot and he is suppose to get her house and land when she finally kicks the bucket. Maybe next year we will have a 300 acre piece of property to grow on. Most of it is rented out to some farmers but there is plenty of unused land way in the back we can use.
