 I read somewhere about very short orchards - in Siberia, I think. 
I'm not sure whether they get reliable snow cover to protect the 
trees, or whether it's sufficiently warm near the ground so that the 
buds don't freeze.  Has anyone tried something like that on the 
Prairies?  You'd have to bud your own trees, really low.
