Lots of fruit varieties can be grown in Southern Ontario and around the GTA. For the best selection and availability, we highly recommend you pre-order your fruit plants/shrubs/trees as early as possible. Quantities are limited and some things sell out quickly in the spring. In general, spring or fall are the two best time to plant fruit trees, bushes, and vines. All fruit listed below except for melons are perennial.
