Someone just gave me a small one. Do you know how large they get ?

Thanks for the comments! :-) I love fiddleheads.
I can't imagine a small one. This one will only have six or seven nice fronds reaching a meter at best. Might be bigger this year. Some when I got this were taller than me, 6ft. They can be very tall and really form a large clump left for years. It is a native here and always few long fronds.
