Yeah - they grow faster than most citrus. Best to prune off the longest branches after they've fruited to stimulate growth & reduce the risk of breaks.

I had a mandarin tree lose a big branch a year ago because it was laden with fruit. I hadn't gotten to pruning it for a while.

How tall do the trees get?

Not much bigger than your average citrus.

I snip the water shoots (ones going straight up). Nobody wants use a ladder to pick fruit.
