Brrr… if it's cold out there! But that doesn’t mean you can’t grow delicious and interesting fruits - even in some of the coldest climates! In this video, I’m sharing 7+ cold-hardy fruits you can grow in cold, temperate, and even snowy climates ❄️. If you garden in a place with harsh winters, these fruiting plants will surprise you with how resilient and productive they can be!
Book suggestion: Cold-Hardy Fruits and Nuts - https://amzn.to/43b0Boe
Here are some of the cold climate fruits we'll cover today, however the are many more options too:
Gooseberries
Apples
Pears
Red and black raspberries
American pawpaw (though very cold hardy, needs hot summers for proper fruiting)
Worcesterberries
Blacktail Mountain watermelon (grow from Spring, through summer)
These fruits are delicious, nutrient-dense, and options for anyone wanting to grow their own food in a cool climate. Whether you’re building a food forest, starting a backyard orchard, or just planting a few fruit bushes, there’s something here for you.
If you're inspired to grow any of these fruits yourself I encourage you to look further into the growing requirements to make sure it's a suitable option for your area.
