I’ll be releasing several soon, perhaps for next winter depending on how the season goes
if you or others are are interested, have a look at my Northern Gardener page on FB or Instagram there are lots of pictures.
There are also photos here under the heading short and sweet.
Meanwhile no doubt you can find plenty of others many of which are rather hard to tell apart from my perspective.

You've been around long enough to know how frustrating it is to see others mislabel everything under the sun. I'm constantly correcting Karma to KARMA.

There is a small group that is trying to "correct" it. By doing so, they remove the "micro" designation, and replace it with "mini". If you don't like the mini term, I can ask then to not use it. I prefer to just use dwarf and micro dwarf, as a "mini", to me, IS a dwarf. I think that it keeps them from confusing determinate dwarf varieties from the Dwarf Project "tree type" dwarf indeterminates. A few of them also are calling some full sized determinates as a dwarf.
