that's awesome! where are you located? have you heard of seaberries? aka sea buckthorn? you may find success with that as well :D

We are just off the Alaska Highway in British Columbia. It's a hardiness zone 2, but we can pull off a three in our little town because of the lake.

I have heard of seabuckthorn, but don't know anything about it. I'll look it up for sure now.

awesome! here's a good post written about it by another canadian:
