The dwarf varieties tend to have a shorter DTM. I have had great luck with "Sugar Lace II" planted in mid-summer, for Fall harvest. They were planted over the July 4th weekend this year, and I picked the last of them a few days ago. I prefer to use the taller varieties for Spring planting, to take full advantage of their longer bearing period.
