    Hi,

    I have a green house in backyard and would like to grow some low chill peach, plum and apricot varieties.

    I am wondering which low chill varieties are available in Vancouver area and where possibly I can purchase them?

    many thanks for your help

    Regards

    I'm not sure about the peach and plum but I know that Puget Gold apricot will grow here and is self-fertile - approx. 600 chill hours.
    Where to get? -
    - Garden Works (locations in Vancouver & Burnaby) usually has a good selection of the more common fruit trees
    - Cedar Rim (Langley) has a very large selection of fruit and nut trees - and a great selection of uncommon trees that will grow here
    - Art's Nursery (Langley) has a good selection of the more common fruit trees
    - Potter's (Surrey/Langley) usually has a few of the more common trees
    - Maple Leaf (North Vancouver) usually has a few of the more common trees
    - Art Knapp's (the larger locations in PoCo & Richmond) has a good selection of the common fruit trees
    - Triple Tree Nursery (Maple Ridge) usually has a few of the more common trees
    And I find them all very informative and should be able to help you.

    Hope this helps.
    * I bought a Puget Gold apricot from Art's Nursery and have it potted and growing on my patio
