This highly prized new apple originated in British Columbia in the early 1990s, and is medium to large in size and has yellow patches over a mostly red colouring. The flesh is creamy white, and firm with a sweet, crisp, aromatic flavor that is a little reminiscent of a pear. These fruit from these hardy trees are a sweet addition to the table. |

It's possible to grow these dwarf trees almost anywhere, as they are very dwarf and narrow trees that grow to about 8 ft. tall by 2 ft wide. Bred from a mutation that resulted in will product fruit in a very small space. Bred from a natural mutation that resulted in a tree formed of all fruiting wood, these trees will bear fruit from a young age and will even grow in a large container. Maypole is a pink flowering crabapple required for pollination, with large 2inch sized tart yet very easy to eat fruit. Emeraldspire has firm medium-large tangy yellow fruit with a reddish blush that is somewhat Spy-like.

New also are a limited supply of super winter hardy Saskatchewan-bred sweet/sour cherries in a bush form growing to 7' tall. Romeo (shown) and Juliette offer an amazing taste experience as they have as much sugar content as a sweet cherry, but with the refreshing zip of a tart one. (It's been likened to 'sour cherry' candies). Excellent for eating, or for baking. |

Hybrid Plums are genetic crosses between that of Japanese plum and native plum. This was done to improve tree hardiness with the winter climates of the prairies. The plums are sweet tasting like regular Japanese plums, although the fruit is usually smaller, and they are great for fresh eating or for preserves. The fruit ripen in August over a period of a couple of weeks (giving you time to eat and pick them) and the yields are excellent. While two trees (Toka is shown adjacent, or Pipestone) are required for cross-pollination, these trees will also cross-pollinate with other Japanese plum varieties. |
Looking like blueberries, but with 5 times the anti-oxidants, this honeysuckle cousin produces heavy yields of flavourful berries that taste like a blueberry/raspberry combination, and are in huge demand in Japan. Plants bear heavy flowers in mid-April, with fruit ripening in early July. A product of many years of breeding at the University of Saskatchewan, Grobe's has a limited supply of Tundra, Borealis and Smart Berry available. Curious?
