ddsack, my Stupice was the same as described - really vigorous, freely suckering, bushy and healthy (and loaded with fruit from top to bottom) and would easily have grown to 8 ft or more if I didn't top it. If you want to try my seeds, PM and I'll send you some to compare. Maybe it just performs differently on different soils, but they do say Moravsky Div is a strain of Stupice, and it was quite different, suckering much more slowly and sparely and growing more slowly overall (but still loaded with fruit).
