>>Hello
>>
>>As a novice backyard fruit grower whose intention is to provide as
>>much of our own produce and variety for my 3 growing hungry boys,
>I'm
>>continuously evaluating new things to fill up my yard with.
>>
>>I've got a selection of raspberries, strawberries, 2 blackberries,
>an
>>amelanchier, hardy kiwis, and an apple tree with 2 more on the way.
>>Still deliberating over getting one or 2 pear trees.
>>
>>I've also got 2 U of Saskatchewan cherries, but since I am a
>>self-confessed cherry addict, I was thinking about trying a sweet.
>>I've seen Biga and Binga available up here in Quebec, also Mazza
>>cherries (Mazy and Maza), as well as the old standards Stella and
>>Lapins which I am worried about not being hardy enough.
>>
>>I am also still undecided about plums, mainly because I don't think
>>with all the rest of the fruit that I have enough space for 2.
>>
>>So I read about chums, never seen or tasted one, sounds interesting
>>as they're smaller than the plums, also less work potentially.
>>
>>If anyone has any advice on chums versus plums and sweet cherries
>>for the north ( Ag Can Z4b/ 5), I would appreciate it.
>>
>>I guess I should really ask this in another post but I am also
>>thinking of planting blueberries this year. Are Polaris and
>Northsky
>>good choices for a smaller garden?
>>
>>Thanks in advance
