    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.

    Thanks David, I guess that means some of my newly purchased
    6ft canes can now be cut in half!

    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
