Hi,
Bonsai springs to mind. (smile)
You can bonsai grape;

Any plant or tree can be kept small.
Is your niece's tree in a container, or subjected to adverse growing conditions?
Later,
Tom

I have first hand experience with only one tree that has runted out, this--
belongs to my niece who let the tree overbear when young. It is, after three
or four years only 2 feet high! But it bears apples ok apparently. (On Bud

My question is, does runting out, if later controlled by thinning, have any
drawbacks other than possible unwanted size control? I think its kind of
neat that she has a two foot tree that bears good apples.
I'm wondering if this could be done to other trees to intentionally decrease
their size. Has anyone tried this?Kevin Bradley
