Ooops, I just missed it. From the Hartmann's catalog:
Little Giant – The fruits are small, 1000 berries per pound and extremely
flavorful. Yields are consistently high and the bush grows to 4 feet at
maturity. Fruits are highest in antioxidants of most all the other cultivars.
Grown successfully in zones 4-7.
I am always looking for high-yielding plants with smaller fruits, as they
tend to have more flavor and work much better for pancakes and such. I have
high hopes for this plant. (Not quite as high as that video might suggest,
of course. . . )
