Pomologica map of generalized hardiness zone bands across Canada and the United States, with cities labelled.Oct 14, 2026 · Field Notei've been working on some maps using public temp and zone data for canada but also to make sense of comparable european and northern russia and china areas. it on pomologica.ca at the bottom under atlas. it tries to pin research stations and major cities and help show what the climate and temp extremes really are, I think about this when I want to grow a sweet cherry bred in Lenningrad known for northern cold hardiness, or a Russian pear from an area that's quite cold - well is that like here or ten degrees warmer in the winter? these temperature band maps try and answer that, and they go along with different winter injury scales, and the systems used by other countriesRead field note +6
jack pine cones on a fallen tree, the cones are easy to collect because they... - Seeds And Stratification, September...Sep 27, 2026 · Seeds & Stratificationjack pine cones on a fallen tree, the cones are easy to collect because they stay firmly attached and closed. it's convenient compared to spruce that will open and disperse their seed in late summer. in either case, a good way to collect conifer cones is a chance fallen tree or a down branch after a storm. a low hanging branch is another, or walking around until you find a squirrel cache. If you're serious about it then a long pole with a hook can be used, since most of the cones are at the top of the tree. it's a good reason to go for a walk in the forest, a pocket full of pine cones and some fresh air. in Japan I've heard you might get a prescription to take walks like this, forest bathing shinrin-yoku, mindful immersion in nature to lower stress and boost wellnessRead field note +3
wild plums, a late hanging one that presents as mostly americana but there's... - Plum And Cherry Hybrids, September...Sep 26, 2026 · Plum & Cherry Hybridswild plums, a late hanging one that presents as mostly americana but there's some hybridization in there. the fruit are slightly elongated like a canada plum, but they're ripe about 3 weeks later. the leaves have a mostly americana shape and margin, but not quite as narrow. prolifically suckering, and probably also some self seeding, this was more plum thicket with one hefty trunk in the center, a multi stem mother tree growing together 10-12" diameter, big for a plum. excellent fruit set, we collect two crates of them. so a seedling wild plum is about as specific as I can figure, atavism is a phenomenon where a hybrid with a wild species tends to revert to the wild phenotype. this could be half americana, half some mix of nigra and salicina. it's hard to know without lab work. That would actually be interesting, something to look into. wild plums make good pollinators, and a hardy vigorous rootstock.Read field note +5

There's been a light frost a few times this month and like sunflowers they shrug it off until, though some time in the next couple of weeks we start to get some cold mornings and a good -5C will brown off all the top growth. Then it's time to dig up all the tubers, and replant enough for next year. This is actually 8-10 separate beds with a rhizome barrier, to keep them mostly separated (purple and white are easy to sort out anyway) but it helps when glowing a few different types near each other. this patch is a separate garden because these guys grow back vigorously from tubers left in the ground, they'll crowd out anything nearby so chose your location carefully, or grow in an isolated bed or large pots.Read field note +4
nannyberries ripening quickly, this year was a rec to get them before the birds... - Berries And Currants, September...Sep 25, 2026 · Berries & Currantsnannyberries ripening quickly, this year was a rec to get them before the birds. you can't tell by I'm standing in water up to my ankles to collect these, so I'm going to say that the trees handle waterlogged land soil well. the fruit cut this cool multi colored effect just the day before they ripen to black, in the last two photos I set some out to take a photo in better light the next morning and nearly all the green/red fruit had ripened over night. if you haven't tried nannyberry they have a savory flavour that's like a date but more woody, totally unique. they're related to highbush cranberry, the fruit grow to the same size and in the same clusters, the seeds are the same large and flat like a watermelon seed, but these aren't sour at all, and they're a deep blue/black color.Read field note +4
