This is interesting stuff. The University of Saskatchewan also has an excellent research center that has developed many hardy versions of popular fruit that will grow in some of our colder climates. They have developed cherries and grapes that will grow in northern BC and Alberta.

Apples too.

Saw tons of them in Fort St John, and one of the girls I work with has a tree in her back yard as well. They produce like crazy!

Sadly, for as much produce as we are able to grow here, our grocery stores are still infested with "US Grown" signs.... even at this time of year. Ticks me off.

I know what you mean. I like the idea of the 100 mile diet. Using only food grown or raised within 100 miles. With these type of advances it will be easier, at least for part of the year.
