Some can grow to 15 feet if they're happy and not pruned back. Interesting
to hear from Betsy about the complex taste of Centurion. I had thought about
commenting that rabbiteyes, although they cane hav very pleasant sweet/acid
ratios and some complexity, might not have the richness you could find
outside of the species. But I don't have enough experience, and that would
have been too much conjecture. There could well, I though, be a rich,
complex rabbiteye - even many - out there I just haven't tried. Good to
hear of one.

Good points. I'd thought variety might have more bearing on
flavor/sweetness than type.
Size might be a consideration for some folks - some of the rabbiteye
types get pretty large; some of my dad's plants almost require a
ladder to pick clusters in the top of the bush - some are easily 8+
ft tall and the clumps may well be 8-10 ft wide
