If I plant two stem cuttings of different sizes but of the same species of plant, will their final size be the same?

No, it shouldn't. Many times the smaller cutting will grow more quickly because it's less stressed.

Yes. The plant is genetically programmed to reach a certain height, given the proper soil/weather/water conditions. If you plant two stem cuttings of different sizes, in the same soil, where they get the same amount of light, they will grow to the same size.

THE CUTTING SIZE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FINAL OUTCOME OR SIZE OF THE PLANT

depends on the plant.
"tomato" uh huh..... no , given exact variables.
perenials , no.
trees , no
so, ,just take good cuttings , nice clean new growth on the cut and use the good stuff. blackleaf or other non-discount rooting hormone.

Within a certain range. But if one is too short or too long, it will die or be weak.
