Here are some fruit trees that grow well in and around Calgary:
Norland Apple – fruits early and produces excellent eating apples that store well.
Prairie Sensation – this hardy dessert apple was developed at the University of Saskatchewan.
M360 – good eating apple that will last up to six months in storage.
Alberta Gold – produces gold and yellow apples that look like Golden Delicious.
Alberta Red – large, red apples that are excellent to eat.
Goodland – this is an Alberta favourite that freezes and stores very well.
Certain pears also grow well in Calgary:

Early Gold Pear – produces small pears that are ready to eat in early September.
John Pear – bears yellow green pears that are ready in late September.
If you love plums, the Brookgold Plum produces delicious, yellow, translucent fruit that is ready in late August.
