| For me G5 is very small. I can hold the trees to 4-5ft tall. Not sure I'd want anything smaller. Size is very dependent on growing conditions. Supposedly sometimes bigger in WA state than out East. |

| Thanks Fruit nut! I will order one on G5. My last one on G5 had very heavy caliper yet only 6' tall upon being winter killed so I thought that might be the case. I will leave G3 for container growing applications or high tunnels. |
