Group:


I have a sweet cherry cv. 'Lapins' on Gisella-6 dwarfing rootstock and a 
sweet cherry cv. 'Rainer' on Zaiger.  Northeast; New Jersey.


If left unpruned, what is the potential size (height/width) of these trees.  
Unfortunately, they are two differing cultivars of two different 
characteristics of vigor themselves, so that adds to the uncertainty 
additionally.


I feel that, despite what is frequently advertised by some nurseries, they 
will not just stop at 12' if unpruned; and that they will yet never get to 
70' like a P. avium seedling on its own P. avium roots.






Thanks,
Steve
