[nafex] fruit information
Hi Kevin,
I saw the Carmine Jewel fruit lined up beside the Evans, and I couldn't
notice a difference in size. It's hard to say for sure if the hardiness
would be carried via seed, but there is a good chance. The problem with new
cultivars is not all things can be studied to a degree where we are
confident in making a comment. For example, we have seen that they are
fairly drought tolerant, but this was noticed only on 1 location.
I would be very interested in talking to Scott about the work Dr. Hansen
did. Is there any way I can contact him?
Wayne Fuhr, a Nafex member in Edmonton has had success growing pear on
Amelanchier.
Prairie gold and sunrise are apricots released by a nursery in Saskatoon,
which I believe was bred by the Coutts family in Unity, SK. From what I
understand it is part Siberian apricot, which would mean smaller fruit, and
smaller size tree, and very hardy.
Golden spice pear was released out of Minnesota, I believe.
