Just wonderered if anyone had grown any and how was the results? Also best method to grow them.
I saw an advert about them but couldn't work out on the pictures if they where growing up some kind of netting from containers or growing down because of the huge amount of runners everywhere.

There is a new variety we have had at work (garden centre) for the last couple of years called Avalanche, which sounds similar.

It doesn't climb as such but can be tied to netting to form a wall of runners or allowed to trail down.  I got some to try and have them in a pot 'climbing' up an obalisk - in reality I tie them on.  They are well flavoured and productive as the runners all fruit as well.  You also get the advantage of being able to get a crop in a small space  :)
