I live in Saskatoon Sask Canada zone 2b-3a. Nice warm and sunny summers just really short and -40 winters but if you look long enough you can find plenty to grow here.....
-6 different sour cherries
- plum
-Haskap
-apricots
-3 different grapes
-kiwi
-apples
-raspberry
-blackberry
-lingonberry

And inside
-Meyer lemon
-key lime
-tangerine
-tangelo
-kumquat
-miracle fruit

Hope to have some dwarf Bananas when I learn more about growing them and find someone that ships to Canada.

-40?? =O Thats really cold!
Hi and welcome to the forum. =D Apricots and sour cherries are awesome! Theres lots of members growing trees here. How deep is the snow there?

Its usually between -18ish to -30 with an odd day colder that being said this winter it has been super mild with temps going down to -20ish for the first time tomorrow and it just snowed over night to cover about 3-5 inches. I try to keep about a foot and a half covering everything all winter and lay the vines down so they dont have to start again at snow level the next year. The university of Saskatchewan has a good fruit program here and they developed the cherries.

What system do they use in Canada? Metric or Imperial?

I think they teach Metric only in school but the lumber stores sell everything in Imperial. Id say we are 50/50 lol.
I use Celsius -40 is -40 and 0 is 18 ? I think

-40°C = -40°F
0°C = 32°F

It gets confusing... The other day I was watching some Australian news and expected an Imperial system. And they kept throwing at me some hybrids and metric values. Funny. Both AU and CA former colonies.
