Our asparagus grows taller than my 6' hubby and the bushy parts of the ferns spread wider than the 2' width of the bed we have them planted in. Basically, they're a small tree once they've gotten to their full height, at least in our garden. If they grow that big in your climate, then their mass might rival that of the large tomato plants you had and didn't like. They don't get that big for everyone, though. The ferns really are lovely and they do turn a gorgeous golden yellow in the fall. Ours don't flop over because the stalks are quite thick and sturdy (they get woody when they fern out), so a fence would be purely decorative. They're bushy, but not unruly. After they go through the yellow stage and start to turn ugly brown, they fall over as one big wave, though (ours are in a 20' long double row). They can be trimmed away at ground level before that happens.
