Hi kona is a medium size tree, I would think it can be prune as desired, a 20 year tree has been kept at 4  meters with pruning, mine is about 6 meters at 12/14 years with out pruning and growing upwards as is surrounded by other trees...

I can report that these grow great from the seeds from Raul -- I had a bunch a couple years back and gave them to a local community college to sell at their sales.  I kept two, which are growing nicely in California -- they're growing faster here in Southern California, though not very fast.  Their growth looks a lot like lychee, and is similarly slow-ish growing.

I think they'll survive in Zone 10b SoCal outdoors -- they survived (barely) in my previous frost-free yard in El Cerrito in the bay area.  They really don't like cold weather and die back quite a bit when the weather is below about 45 F, but don't seem to truly die unless the temperature stays low for too long.
