    Hmm.... I think Tumbling Monster was quite compact. Lizzano had long-ish branches but wasn't particularly bulky. Had you considered using micro-dwarves and just letting them flop,? I have a few varieties you could try with.

    Help Micro- dwarves I have never even heard of them. They sound maybe just the job, can you recommend a variety? Thanks.

    Micros are bush types of 30cm or smaller. There are also Minis, which can be up to 50cm. Fruit is generally cherry sized, although I have one here claiming to have fruits of upto 200g ( insert pinch of salt here). I grew Henry Harrington's this year and it was very good. I also got good feedback from neighbours on Florida Petite, although that was during the pandemic and my taste buds were knocked for six so I'll have to take their word for it. If you'd like to bung me a couple of £, I can send you a few varieties to choose from.

      Oh this sounds like a plan, thanks @eatenbyweasels!
      How about I send you a stamped address envelope with a couple of quid in it?
      C/O a well known member of GC;)I have some 2005 Gardeners Delight seed. These produce GD like it used to taste unlike the rubbish nowadays. Can include some of these if this would suit?
      Maybe PM me your address, thanks.
