I take your word for it. And I promise to be as tanned as an Indian (frm India I mean, not USA). Well, maybe not that much, but either way, dark.
I hope that the Nains reach the height of 1m or more this year, also the Dajiao seems to be pretty high cultivar. With only 3rd leaf coming up, it's about tripple the height of the GN, which are 25cm (10 inches) at 5th leaf from the emerging. The GN really show a small stature from the beginnig.
Just like the Dwarf Brazilian from Marcel, he too is with his 6th leaf much smaller than the Dajiao and and about the same height as the GN with their 5th leaf on. That would make mature heights, if the growth is proportional as it is now:
Dwarf Brazialian - let's consider 2,2 meters
Grand Nain - 2,2 * (6/5,5) = 2,4 meters
Dajiao - 2,2 * (6/3) = 4,4 meters
This makes the Dajiao (possibly) about 4,5 meters high from the ground to the leaf tip in maturity.
