Hi Pye,

All the vines of your plants have the potential to grow 20 feet or more  with the exception ofThe Harrier which does have less foliage.

Fruit size and yeild,
Burgess Buttercup 3-5lbs,3-4 fruits
Red Kuri  4-7lbs,2-3 fruits
Delicata 1-2lbs,5-7 fruits
Harrier 1-2 lbs,2-3 fruits
Jack be Little probably 10-12 fruits, they are apple size and about the same weight.

Hope this helps

Thanks Jeannine and EJ  :)

I did mean plant size, I'm trying to work out what to put where. As always I have too many plants and not enough room.

But the fruit size will help me too, deciding which to grow up supports.  :)
