Norfolk Island Pines typically grow at a moderate rate, averaging about 12 to 24 inches (30 to 60 cm) per year under optimal conditions. Factors such as soil quality, water availability, and climate can influence their growth rate. In ideal environments, they can reach heights of 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 meters) over several decades. However, growth may be slower in less favorable conditions.
The Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla or Star Pine) grow to a height of about 50 -> 65 m.
Yes, Norfolk pine branches will grow back if they are pruned.

Yes. I live in San Jose, CA. Two of my neighbors have ten to twenty feet Norfolk Island Pine trees. I also have four in pots. They are about two feet each. I got them sale from OSH.
no. the width of growth is geneticly determined not envirumental... btw, good question
Yes, you can grow a Norfolk Island Pine from a cutting, but:If you use a side branch, it will keep growing sideways.A top cutting will grow normally, but they do not root easily. Rooting hormone powder helps.Keep the cutting, planted in soil, not water, out of direct sunlight and covered with a clear plastic bag, to keep it from drying out until it can get water with its' new roots.IT IS EXTREMELY HARD AND RARE.just wanted to point that out to you
To successfully propagate Norfolk Island Pine, take a cutting from a healthy plant and place it in a pot with well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight. With proper care and patience, the cutting should develop roots and grow into a new plant.

No, Norfolk Pines cannot be successfully rooted in water. They require well-draining soil to grow properly.
PRUNING: They grow upward, their trunk thickens and the pine bows increase in size. It is not recommended to cut their growing tips off. Its symmetrical shape would be destroyed. The only maintenance pruning to be done is removal of dead lower branches.
