uzun has a wider meaning than just ´tall´. It is more like ´long´, ´extended´ and it can be used for concrete objects as well as time, distance or duration. That is why the specific sort of length is determined with a head which is a noun.

 

                  uzun + ömür  >  uzun ömürlü insanlar  -  insanların ömrü uzun

                  uzun + sap  >  uzun saplı tencere  -  tencerenin sapı uzun

                  uzun + süre  >  uzun süreli borç  -  borcun süresi uzun

 

Then you just play with the adjective + noun compound in a sentence like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Is it required to mention boyun in this sentence:

 

Bir gün boyun uzayacak.

 

The verb uzamak already conveys the meaning of growing taller (which obviously refers to a person´s height). Again this is one of many examples where one says the same thing twice.

 

 

Many answers to this already, but I´ll still contribute (or confuse). 

No, it´s not required. But if you exclude it, it´ll no longer say (word by word) "your size will be longer/taller", but "you will be taller". In Turkish, that requires a different ending: 

Bir gün uzayacaksın

Correct?

In my Turkish "uzayacaksın" means "kabak tadı verdi".
