Summary: With the exception of the areas of Canada where orchards are ubiquitous, you don’t see a lot of food production going on with trees and shrubs. Why not? Trees are hardy, easy to grow and tend, and keep producing year after year. Add to that the wonderful benefits that you find in any tree – aesthetics, shade, and pollution cleaning – and why wouldn’t you try to grow fruit trees? Today I highlight some fruit trees you might not think of growing, but will do well in Canada’s harsher growing zones. You might be surprised at what you hear! Kiwi, Honeyberries, Currants….mmmm.
