PRODUCT INFO
This edition should be of interest to everyone as who doesn’t enjoy fruit. In addition to fruit trees and bushes being a visual feast for the eyes, fruits and berries are a literal one. Learn about all the options available to gardeners about the various fruit and berry plants that can be planted in their own landscape as well as learning about native fruiting flora growing throughout the Prairies.
Fruits have been under development for about 100 years on the Prairies. The cold hardy apples, plums, raspberries and other fruits initially researched and developed by the Morden Research Centre continue to be enjoyed today. Work on developing cold hardy fruits continues to this day – an example being the recent addition of haskaps to our prairie fruit harvest. Read about the development of saskatoons, cherryplums and Ure pears and many others.
Don’t forget to check out the articles in the general section that range from information on stratification, David Austin roses, native grasses, and the monarch butterfly among others. There will be something of interest to everyone in this edition of The Prairie Garden.
