Pictures from 2019 Fruit Festival - Saturday Event
The Saturday Event is for members only. It is used to prepare the fruit for display for the public event on Sunday, to share our potluck lunch and to have our annual general meeting. This day is a good opportunity for the growers to discuss the challenges and successes of the fruit growing year. It is also a great time for Fruit Growers to sample each others fruit and share some new varieties.
Thank you to LY Cairns School ( South Edmonton) for providing this great Venue on such short notice. We did not have to worry about rain or snow, but this year the weather was beautiful. We used the cafeteria to display our fruit. The room was huge and we had lots of tables to spread out the fruit displays.
The U of A Botanic Garden closed early this year ( Sept 3, 2019) to get some construction projects done this fall.

New Venue Location 2019- L Y Cairns School, Edmonton
2019 Fruit Festival- Public Event- Sunday Sept. 15 -LY Cairns School
This year the event was held at LY Cairns School in South Edmonton.
When you first walk into the large, bright, cafeteria you were greeted with the sweet aroma of ripening fruit and a colourful display of Canadian Prairie grown fruit.
The weather was beautiful outside this year and OFRE ( Operation Fruit Rescue Edmonton) set up at the back of the school pressing fresh fruit juice for participants to sample.
This year we had an abundance of apples on display. We had a few pears, very few plums and few sour cherries.
2019 was the coldest February in Edmonton in 40 years. Outside the city and in the city's river valley temperatures did dip below -40C. So if you had some challenges growing fruit in 2019, you are not alone.
It was a brutal winter for cherries and plums, with lots of reports from our members of reduced fruit production (due to killing of flower or fruit buds), some winter tip kill and some reports of total loses (dead shrubs or hedges) of sour cherries West and North of Edmonton.
The cool, wet summer of 2019 also delayed ripening of fruit. Many pears were still too unripe for taste tests or display. The lack of warm weather this summer also delayed the ripening of apples, though apples did best this year relative to other fruit.
The summer of 2019 was a great year for berry crops as they enjoyed the abundance of extra moisture, great for Haskaps, Saskatoons, raspberries, strawberries, currants, etc.
Our new venue this year had ample space to spread out, both for the fruit and the people. If the pictures look a little bare, please consider that pictures were taken during quieter times, and because of all the extra space, we were not all packed in so tightly.
We had a very steady stream of people dropping by. The public was encouraged to sample the same fruit from various growers, as local growing conditions do affect taste. In the city or towns fruit usually ripens more quickly than out in the countryside. Fruit growing in sandy soils will mature more quickly than fruit grown in heavy, clay soils, specially in wet, cool summers. Moisture levels in the soil and the amount of sunlight and warmth throughout the growing season will affect ripening times and taste. It is important to taste fruit when it is mature (seeds are brown, colouration of fruit exterior, etc) to get a better representation of flavour.
The weather was perfect inside the building and people sometimes stayed for hours, going around to all the different fruit growers, sampling fruit and asking questions. There is no specific " one way" only to be a successful fruit grower. Every grower has a method that works for them in their area. There are many ways to be a successful fruit grower.
One question that is often asked is " Which is your favorite variety ( apple, pear, plum, sour cherry etc)?"
Taste is a very individual thing. Some people do prefer tart, hard apples. Not everyone likes a sweet apple. For example, Bernie loves Edmonton Boris apple, Though some people find it kind of bland in taste. Jo likes Skiba apple but some people find it has no taste. Some people love tart apples and other people could not even handle more than one bite.
Attending the Fruit Festival gives the public an opportunity to sample all kinds of fruit and decide for themselves which varieties they enjoy most. We recommend that people take pictures of the labeled fruit they really enjoy, so that come mid April the following year, they will know what new varieties of scionwood they want to pick up ( $2 a bud stick) to graft later in May.
Many of the varieties available at the Fruit Festival are not available in stores. Besides not everyone has the space in their backyard to plant 7 different varieties of apples trees. But you only need one apple tree and can graft on more than 7 different apple varieties to that one apple tree.
At this year's show, Thean had an excellent display of Fruit Problems. He displayed two popular types of Apple Maggot controls for backyard gardeners; plastic bags and Apple socks. See pictures below.
Thank you to all our Fruit Grower members who brought in fruit to our event. Some have been doing this for a few decades now and came for both Saturday and Sunday. Other members contribute fruit for the event but were not able to attend both days. A big Thank You, also to our members and non-members who volunteered to help out by giving out taste samples to the public ( Corrine, Dorothy and Susan). One last Thank you to the LY Cairns School for providing a great Venue for our event on short notice.

2018 Fruit Festival- Public Event- Sunday Sept. 16
It was snowing outside, so the Fruit Display was brought inside to the Upper Classroom in the Headquarters Building. It was warm and dry inside and people enjoyed their time tasting fruits, asking questions and listening to presentations. Another great event, even the cold, snowy weather could not cool the passion of Prairie Fruit lovers.
Take a look at the next page, Gallery to see many of the individual fruits brought to the 2018 Fruit Festival.
So far it has been the snowiest September on record for Edmonton, snowing 22.0 cm. Previous record was 12.9 cm in 1965.

What a great way to taste before you plant your fruit trees. This event is open to the public and it has been extremely popular with families. With the price of admission into the Devonian Botanic Garden you will be able to taste all kinds of fruits ( apple, plum, cherries, pears, berries and on occasion apricots) that have been grown in the Canadian Prairies. You will be amazed at the variety available.
http://botanicgarden.ualberta.ca/Visit/Hours-Admission
The Fruit Growers Group supplies the fruit ( taste samples) and answers questions about growing fruit in our area. There are usually other local organizations that have their displays and demonstrations also available at this event. The University of Alberta Botanic Garden will usually bring in a few speakers to speak on related topics. In the past events, roasted apples, and pressing your own juice have been great hits with the kids (or kids at heart).

Fruit Growing Season- 2016
The weather this year had quite an effect on fruit production. Firstly the 2015/2016 winter was very mild around the Edmonton area and it did not drop below -30C. This produced a super blooming season in early spring. Many growers specifically commented on the prolific blooms on their apricot trees. We had a early, warm, dry and windy spring in 2016.
In my own yard, my apricot tree was blooming around April 20. I had gotten a Capilano apricot seed from Wayne Fuhr five or six ago at the DBG Fruit Festival. I planted it and 4 to 5 years later, I thought I might get my first taste this year. It was warm and the bees were out doing their jobs in April. I was happy to see fuzzy green fruit being formed a little later. But on May 11, 12, 13, and 14th at my place I had frosts. My orchard location is in a little dip, that is a frost trap ( not good ). The temperature dropped around -8C at my place. My apple trees and sour cherries were in full bloom at the time of these frosty temperatures.
Less than a week later all the little frozen apricots turned brown, shriveled and fell off. I had no apricot harvest this year. If you want to be a Fruit Growing Master in the Canadian Prairies, you must first Master the Art of Patience.
My apples did not fare very well either. On one tree I got two (2) Norkent apples and on my other tree I had five (5) Goodland apples mature. The frost and cold temperatures killed most of the apple blossoms. I heard similar reports from various Fruit Growers members that live outside the city or towns. Some growers said their apples or pears only produced 10% of the normal annual crop. I hope the lack of apples will slow down the apple maggots. Maybe wishful thinking on my part.
I have a friend who lives about a kilometer up the road from my place. Her yard is up higher and she has many tall trees ( spruce, poplars etc) very close to her fruit trees and on the West side. Her apple crop was quite abundant compared to mine. The tall trees protected the fruit trees from frost and also being up higher ( and not in a low spot) also helped. Location matters if you are planting a garden or orchard. If you can help it, do not plant in a low spot. (frost pocket trap).
Tony V. lives about 15 minutes West of me, also in the country but further from the city or town. His acreage is quite rolly, and his fruit trees are not in the low spot. He also has various other larger trees around his orchard, and his orchard is much closer to his house. Tony's orchard did quite well. He did get lots of everything this year, including apples, plums, pears, sour cherries, apricots and sweet cherries (amazing in our area). Location is important.
At Bernie's Orchard that is South of Stony Plain, the temperature got down to -11C one of those nights ( May 11-14). The pears and apples harvest was minimal on the acreage. However, at Bernie's city lot in Edmonton, his harvest were much better. With Konrad, it was a similar situation. His home lot in Beaumont produced more than his acreage orchard ( countryside) of 200 trees. Konrad mentioned that he only got 2 pails of apples total from his acreage ( 10% or less) of 200 trees. Not much apple juice this year.
However, in the city or in town, other fruit growers were reporting bumper crops. The city or town creates its own micro-climate. The abundant concrete, asphalt, fences and buildings act as heat sinks and wind breaks that keep the nights warmer, eliminating many lighter frosts experienced out in the countryside.
So if you did not get much of an apple or pear crop this year and live in the countryside, now you know you are not alone. Lets hope for a better harvest in 2017.
