    Hi ceejay, Bunyards exhibition should grow to about 3ft (1m) likewise Hurst Greenshaft not sure about Sugarbon but I would think between 3 and 5ft. David.

    Ceejay, don't forget that you have to push the canes into the ground so you are using up some of that 6ft [​IMG] . I wouldn't cut the canes at all - you can always hope the plants grow higher. :D
