How tall Evans (aka Bali) trees will grow really depends on the location.  I 
planted an own-root Evans in the neighbor's hard, near my compost pile maybe 
about 7 years ago and it is now at least 15 ft. tall.  I don't consider that 
dwarf for a tart cherry.  I've started to cut back the tallest limbs to a 
horizontal side branch.  It is very productive; has never failed to produce a 
crop for about the past 5 years, although size of the crop will vary.

This is from the St. Lawrence Nursery website:

"Discovered growing near Edmonton, Alberta, by Dr. Ieuan Evans, Bali has 
fruited after withstanding  minus 43 degrees F.  A vigorous grower and 
precocious producer, yielding large (up to1 inch) fruit excellent for pies, 
sauces, jams and even fresh eating. Five year old trees (about 7 ft tall) 
have produced up to 10 gallons of fruit. Trees are from tissue culture, which 
means there is no graft or rootstock to worry about. Natural dwarf."
