Like Nick and Mitchel say, the "ratoon crops" are almost always taller than the "plant crops". Look at the MGIS website and you'll see that for almost every cultivar they have data on.

Height is a good indicator, as many have said, but it can be incredibly variable from place to place, so don't think yours will flower at the same height that someone else's did. And then there are some varieties that are just really variable in flowering height -- Dwarf Brazilian being a great example. The ones at my friends house flower at anywhere from 6 to 11 feet depending on where they are in his yard.
