I've been given a damson "tree", actually more like a seedling or a rooted
cutting. So given that it won't be on dwarfing rootstock, how big would it
get if I planted it on the allotment? Would it be better to put it in a
container?

TIA

A mature one in my garden is around 25 feet high.
Saplings, grown from fallen fruit, are around 8 feet high now after 8 or
so years, and have fruited for the past 2 years.
