Jamaican Red usually refers to the dwarf form, 'Tall Red' is the taller (full sized) version, also known commonly as 'Red Dacca'. The tall ones I've seen are usually about 10-12ft (in Hawaii at least) and the dwarf about 5-7ft, but sizes will vary by region, growing conditions and different clones.
