About 4.5 feet tall with heads the size of small plates here this year. Huge seed yield, check into commercial seed source for the larger producing heads. Giant, they are called,324 acres is a pretty sight for sure

I have only about 10 in my yard, but I have over 600 - 800 on my farm. Going to make oil out of them for farm equipment.

Cool! I've wondered about extracting oil from sunflowers. How much do you get from the 600-800? How long does it take to extract it?

LOL.
I will be eating the seeds, my hubby makes the oil, he does it every year. Oh and if you eat the stalk before it blooms, it tastes like asparagus.
