I have about 4 different varieties. There are some that are pushing 7 feet high(though they really need the older-higher canes pruned back this season). The tall ones also produce the largest berry. But they aren't as sweet as the smaller bushes. All these bushes are over 20 years old.

I bought six from Millers Nursery a few years back that I keep in large planters. They produce large(sweet) berries on small bushes. Sadly though, I have lost three of them due to my neglect of watering them. But they are neat to have on the patio and just pluck a few off every now and then.

note: If anyone is thinking of putting some in planters for the patio I'd suggest keeping them in an isolated place until the bees get done pollinating them!!!!
