Castrati grew very tall because their bones did not fuse during puberty.
They got real tall, though. They got huge. They would be like seven foot tall. Really? And this is why they could sing so well: their bones in their rib cage wouldn't fuse.

So they'd have like this huge rib cage with huge lungs and a tiny little boy voice.
