- Bob Duncan - Pushing the limits
Bob retired as an entomologist with the Canadian Forest Service. He and his wife Verna have 200 different apple varieties and many subtropical varieties including citrus on their one-third of a hectare lot. Because our winters are becoming less severe with climate change, it is now possible to grow more frost sensitive varieties. "Acid citrus like lemons and limes are well suited to our current climate, while sweeter citrus fruit like oranges need sustained, high heat to ripen. It's not here now, but it may be coming." Bob and Verna operate a custom propagation nursery in North Saanich.where they sell hard-to-find varieties to the public. Click here for his YouTube video on growing lemons.
