Cold, hardy apples suited to our
prairie climate is our specialty. We have gathered together a very
nice collection that produces well and flourishes. Enjoy your own,
homegrown fruit where only your own tender loving care has brought it to
your table. No room? Try an espaulier. Espaulier is a tree pruned to grow flat on a fence or wall. Used extensively in Europe. The effect is attractive and a conversation piece. |

| Plums | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
All these plums are very hardy and grow heavy crops if adequate
pollination is present. Eg: H-Z2-E,C,J-Early means Hybrid, Zone 2, Eating, Cooking, Jam - Early |
Plums are either Asian (Prunus
salicina), North American or wild plums (P.salicina or P.
nigra) and Hybrid (crosses between the two). The key to plum
production is pollination. Asians will pollinate other Asian
plums. Hybrid plums will not pollinate other hybrid plums!
Hybrid plums require genuine wild plums to set good fruit. See
article by Rick Sawatsky, U of S fruit guru using this link********link
