Too Cold for Tender Fruit? Hear What this Prairie Grower Does
Think your climate is too cold to grow tender fruit?
Find out how this grower harvests peaches, plums, cherries, apricots, and more…despite winter temperatures that can dip to -38°C (-36°F) and a short summer.
In this episode, Donna and Steven chat with Saskatchewan fruit grower Dean Kreutzer.
We talk about:
- Fruit adapted to cold climates
- Using unheated greenhouses to grow tender fruit, grapes…and figs
- Heat sinks and insulated tarps
- Capturing heat from the ground—without an elaborate geothermal heating system
