I don't have those but a couple of others. Have your heart set on those?

I have some extra Florida Petit and several others, including non-micros that mature in the 1 -2 ft range.

I can spare a few Shimofuri from my packet. They sound really interesting so it would be good to hear how people do with them. Just PM me your address and I'll get them out next week. But I didn't think they are actually a micro though?

If you're using a micro as one parent, I'd suggest making it the male parent. Reason? I tried all summer to emasculate the micro flowers and pollinate a pistil, but it never took. Maybe you're a better crossbreeder than I, but I finally had to take micro pollen and pollinate a full-sized parent in desperation.

It seems like it'd be so easy to tell if your cross took, if you used the micro as the female; any F1 larger than a micro would mean a successful cross. But since I had to do it the other way around, here's what I got: plants that looked spindly (probably true-to-mother-type), plants with thicker stems but bigger than micros, and stuff in-between. I took the most compact ones with thicker stems, and sure enough, they showed the fruit size and color of the father (red micro) rather than the mother (pink heart).
