Which fruit? Adams Co. Nursery has some neat little pictures that show 
how tall their apple trees should get on different rootstocks. I think 
it depends on your particular conditions, though.

And Cornell University has some apple rootstock factsheets. These are 
described by 'size class,' which translates to the relative percentage 
size compared to growing the tree on its own roots.

I don't know of a site that covers rootstocks of all types of fruit 
trees, but that's not saying much. There's probably one out there 
somewhere. And many, if not most, nurseries have at least *some* 
information on the rootstocks of trees they sell.
