Actually, yes.  I have had success with such cuttings/rootings. The size will be "standard" if you let them just grow.  That means you can expect a tree which can be up to 20 feet tall, and about 15 feet wide.  Don't despair !   By pruning and training, your trees can be maintained at a "pickable" height.  Summer (June 21st) time pruning will help keep them shorter, whereas Winter (dormant) time pruning will encourage growth.  Both can be used, but be cautious with Summer pruning, just enough to limit the height and before the tree starts to store food in roots for Winter. I keep them at about 8-10 feet in height, mostly because I can reach the fruit, and what I don't get the birds can have.  Enjoy!
