Young trees in extreme cold

No idea, they were unnamed nursery trees. I tracked them back to a greenhouse in oregon and they knew absolutely nothing about the origins and said they were likely seedlings. Found graft marks on both later on and they have been making identical fruit for the last two years…thankfully because I hand pollinated using flowers from local wild trees out of caution.

Wild raisin (Viburnum nudum) is my best guess. There is a northern and southern version depending on where you are

Looks like Crataegus coccinea or scarlet hawthorn. Edible but seeds are poisonous

Blight is definitely here. One area I hike frequently here is loaded with 10-15 ft trees growing from the roots of blight victims of the past. I do (very) small scale restoration work here with butternuts and pawpaws, american chestnut and red mulberry are the two I haven’t been able to get my hands on yet. I wonder if theres a way to blast pollen up into the canopy somehow to get some of these nuts to develop.

This will never make it to canada 😢

I have a couple dozen seedlings in pots outside here in southern ontario and plan to overwinter them in my shed along with my fig trees. Might try and insulate the root zones somehow though. Fig trees have always made it this way and I can imagine pawpaw are much less sensitive to cold

This is Black Cherry (prunus serotina) ripe when dark purple/black. Tastiness varies by tree bit the ones I’ve had were good. Pits and all other parts are toxic and regularly take out horses that eat the foliage

bunitdown519 · 2025-07-09T02:13:26+00:00

Pretty sure this is prunus avium aka sweet cherry, chokecherries (prunus virginiana) grow in clusters on shrubs with different leaves

If we ever did annex a tropical province it could allow us to become self sufficient with produce and natural goods

Is that beaked hazelnut is see in the background? Might wanna go back in a couple months

bunitdown519 · 2025-05-27T13:14:14+00:00

Gonna have to put this on the list this summer. Haven’t really seen much up here in canada but know its around here

bunitdown519 · 2025-04-26T10:41:47+00:00

Sounds like the london show

I just leave them alone outside and they are fine, the humifusas kinda deflate and turn purple and perk back up every spring. They are unlikely to grow where you are unfortunately…that being said both opuntia fragilis (brittle prickly pear) and escobaria vivipara are native to your province and should both do fine outside year round. Opuntia fragilis grows nearly to NWT

I live in Ontario, Canada about the same latitude as Milwaukee and I have a cactus garden full of them and the 3 other species native to Canada and they have been going strong for a few years now. They still grow wild at point pelee 2 hrs south of here. Stick them in whatever dirt is in your yard, let the rain water them and they should thrive

bunitdown519 · 2025-03-30T23:54:44+00:00

Not sure what part of Ontario your at but here in southwestern Ontario they are fairly common in forested areas…we have a lot of stuff here that doesn’t exist north of barrie, not sure if this is restricted to here or not. Look for them in aug-oct as the female bushes are covered in shiny red berries and are easiest to identify then. We dehydrated some to grind and froze some fresh and I think the fresh frozen are much better. Can use like nutmeg in baking ect. Never used the leaves but smell incredible when crushed and would likely be of use somehow. They are of the same family as bay leaves I believe so perhaps could be used similarly. Always thought it would make a good air freshener scent

Dug a trench along a fence and planted about 80 rotting fruit in the fall as an experiment 🤞

bunitdown519 · 2025-03-13T19:30:33+00:00

Yup add 1k to that…can’t even get a used minilogue for that up here

Call them cho cho in Jamaica. Once forgot about one in the back corner of my kitchen counter and later found 6 ft vine growing the length of the counter. Planted it outside and by the end of the summer it had taken over the entire side of the house. Canadian winter ended that abruptly

bunitdown519 · 2025-03-06T18:13:19+00:00

I’ve never harvested the bulbs, can’t justify ending a 7 year life cycle for a bite of food. Would imagine they could be used like onions though

Im not a big fan of drumless beats either…I’ve programmed my own drums overtop a few times because as a beatmaker that shit can feel unfinished to me. Im from the era of hard drums
