This Italian type tomato gives the best canned tomatoes. Little juice, very fleshy, it is sweet and delicious. Despite its sordid name, which literally means "banana legs" (have you ever seen bananas running?), it looks proud and its plant is healthy.

When planting, lay the plants horizontally, slightly arching the plant to bring out the leaves upwards.

This melon is related to the mythical green-fleshed melon from Montreal and the Banana cantaloupe from the United States. Its orange flesh is very fragrant and its taste exquisite. It was designed in 1910 by the Trappist father Athanase of the Cistercians of Oka, formerly director of the Agricultural Institute of Oka. When the school closed in 1962, the melon disappeared... then was found on Île Bizard, where we grow it!

🌱 8 Pawpaw Seeds – Cold-Hardy Fruit Tree from Quebec

The pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is a unique fruit adapted to northern climates. Cultivated in Quebec and southern Ontario for centuries, this tree was cherished by Indigenous peoples long before European settlers arrived.

Similar in size to a mango, the pawpaw offers a delightful blend of banana, mango, pineapple, and cantaloupe flavors. Once known as the "poor man's banana" when imported bananas became popular, this rare fruit is actually a hidden gem! Enjoy it fresh or mixed with dairy for a creamy milkshake.


Once ripe, pawpaws last only a few days, making them difficult to commercialize. Grow your own and savor this exclusive fruit that few get to taste!
