    Apples, crabapples, saskatoons, sour cherries, apricots (selected varieties), plums, blueberries, cranberries and probably a few more.

    Maybe in a pot. In a greenhouse. Maybe a heated greenhouse? Check out varieties of dwarf peaches, you never know. 100 mile has a higher elevation than Quesnel. I would think peaches would need shelter from prevailing cold winds. Good luck!

    Hi
    Thanks for the tip I'd never have thought of potted trees.I guess they could go into the garage in the winter.

    Apricots are more closely related to plums and are from similarly cold regions. There are Apricot varieties that will fruit up into zone 3.

    Peaches are more related to Almonds and are from distinctly warmer climates. While the trees may survive zone 5, the flowerbuds usually require zone 6 or warmer.
