Commercially developed varieties such as Balsgard and Ida produce two crops a year and fruit freely.  Given the small size of the plants, productivity is good for these.  Best fruit size approaches half an inch in these varieties when given good conditions, but typically is slightly over 1/4"

Lingonberries grow here in the peat swamps.  I tried to grow them
several times with no success.  If you have a peat swamp, you can
probably grow them.  Even naturally the yields are low.   Zone 2/3
