- We started our Cold Hardy Fruit Orchard this week with a number of University of Saskatchewan varieties of Haskap, apple, and sour cherry. Come along for a chat about cold hardy fruit growing in northern climates and the varieties we chose to get tings moving.
Finally a gardening channel that has colder weather than I do.
Haha. yeah it's a tough place to grow fruit that's for sure.
Went to U of S last summer for their Haskap days.... looking forward to first harvest. We have some of their great cherries.
Just discovered your channel! Nice to see fellow cold climate homesteader types!
Thanks for watching! Glad to have you along.
Love it....Keep'n it real, with heavy breathing and kids being kids!😊
Everyone on UA-cam seems to like the Nanking Cherries. Should grow nice there.
Zone 2 .. wow you probably get more sunlight from the Moon :)
Good job sir, doing the same near Greenwater PP
got a chance to visit and stay in this amazing Province for 20 days when i was younger, way younger helping a friend to built a house for his new family...hope to go back soon...did drive through 3 times to go to work meeting in Alberta....but next time..will stop and enjoy...you are teaching the best to your kids...you are a champ in my book...respect to you Sir
much appreciated
Great job . How long until they produce food ?
We are not made of sugar LOL greetings from warmer Texas .
Ouch! ---- zone 2b! We are in 4a and it gets colder than the dickens here (SW Wisconsin). We grow cold climate grapes and had our first successful harvest this year of 1,114 lbs. It has gotten 40 below (oddly the same in C or F) quite a few times, and we got a bit of branch death here and there, but that could have been from disease as well. Our fruit trees do very well. The biggest problem was rabbit damage and sun scald in the winter -- both solved with split 4" plastic culvert pipe. I'll have to check back and see how your orchard does!
WOW that's a lot of grapes. Good for you guys! -40 is pretty common for us through January and February. We just pray that we have enough snow by that point to insulate the plants. Thanks for watching!
We have 200 fruit trees in Ontario canada 🇨🇦
Just discover your channel, from a neighbour from Morin Heights, Qc, Canada (4B)...just subscribed and will follow for sure, great video Sir, thank you
Thx very much
Same here in NEK Vermont, 4B. Where digging requires a rock bar,.. every hole. I think they breed under the ground,,,,
you should plant not that deep , to make sure your plant wont drown. had some root generator in your water one hour before planting , make a little mount around the tree to collect the water. water them every week even if it rains ,the extra water needs to drain.good luck
Thanks for the tips Yves.
We've got Boreal Haskap here in our food forest project on the East Coast. Thanks for all the new info. :)
Our pleasure!
great video and channel brother. God bless you and yours
Much appreciated, Justin. Thanks for watching
What is the background music. I think my Dad used to play that.
I am subscribing for probably not a common reason, the way you talked to Jasper when you asked for Zip-Ties.
I want one of those water pumps, for my blue barrel!! Where can I get one?
I use some cardboard and a bit of mulch / straw. Keeps the weeds and grass down and keeps moisture.
Good strategy. Thx for watching
congratulation! you'll need to move the solar panel as the cherry grows. }:)
Love from 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
I am zone 2b too, in northern Ontario. How did the apple and cherry trees do so far. I want to plant an orchard this year
Still there. We'll see how they do again this spring!
We are on manitoulin
How are they doing 4 years later.
I was unable to make the UofS fruit sale this year....which is fine...I get to watch how yours goes first :) Besides, I need to get started on the cabin first anyhow.
Always next year! It's a great sale, but getting tough to get there early enough to get the goods. Good luck with your build!
@@HayWoodsandWetlands I'm in Dauphin MB, know of any good sources for these goodies?
Check out T n T seeds out of Portage. I’m in north central Saskatchewan and order a lot of seeds/trees/bushes from them.
"zone 2"... I'm definitely not going to find you growing citrus in this video
Haha. No. Maybe a kumquat in my living room window, but even then....
Not citrus exactly, but some rugosa varieties are supposed to get down to zone two. It's the only vitamin C (rose hips) I can grow outdoors year round in WI.
typical kids lol... I don't want to help plant a tree, but I'll work the hand pump!
With such small plants, how long do you think it will take for them to start giving fruits?
I've been looking for a zone 4A (Minneapolis/St Paul) rare fruit orchard tree tour, do you have any suggestions?
Look up permaculture orchard in quebec. Lots of info and he even has an online video where he shows how be built his permaculture orchard. Stefan shares many ideas on utube. I got his video. I really enjoyed it and will use many of his ideas to get a smaller orchard going up here in Manitoba. Good luck
@northrockboy I'm familiar with him, but he's too far away :'(
I thought I had it rough in a zone 4/5! How are these holding up in winter?
Well they're frozen solid currently. The question is, how will they look in the spring...Stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
Ha ha right I’m in Minneapolis we’re zone 3
@@Timetravel1111Minneapolis is solidly zone 4
Should get some pigs let them turn up the ground for you and then get bacon
Any luck? I sold my place In 6b Ontario and moving to 3a Alberta to be mortgage free on an acreage. Want to plant a food forest this year
Aurora and Boreal Beast are not the best match for cross pollination. They are OK.
Boreal Beast, Boreal Blizzard, and Boreal Beauty are best matches.
Aurora, Honeybee, Borealis, Tundra, and Indigo Series are best matches.
I planted haskaps in the pasture. 3 years started fruiting and last summer the horses ate them. 😥
Oh dear. I'm hoping mine make it past this first winter. It's always a struggle to compete with foraging beasts. Haha. thanks for watching
off to the glue factory!
Any recent updates?
How did you get trees from the university? Do you just contact the botany department?
The USask has a plant sale every spring....well maybe not this year..... Usually people line up three blocks long before the gates open. For the horticulture hobbyist it's the event of the summer!
