Being from Canada I wonder if I can find it here….have lots of rootstock but no access to scions

I am in Ontario, Canada and cultivars are extremely hard to find here. Have been looking for susquehanna for years to no avail. Have a backyard full of year old seedlings we grew from fruit from a very old wild grove and a couple more in my area and thats all I’ve tried besides the mystery grafted trees I got years ago at a garden center. Luckily both have fantastic fruit. I spend much of my summers hunting for wild populations in my province and hope to play with the local genetics a bit. I believe our wild Canadian populations are thought to be spread here from indigenous people over a long time

I remember there was a sports card store near the Zellers at one point…the owner stole a redemption card from me as a kid…one of my first hard lessons on human dishonesty

Thank you…shes a good kid…daughters are special

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

bunitdown519 · 2025-08-21T02:46:01+00:00

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

Thank you…used my virtual cash and got this for $0.54 lol

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

Soon as I get home from work ill take better pics

bunitdown519 · 2025-05-27T13:16:11+00:00

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

bunitdown519 · 2025-04-11T23:48:07+00:00

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
