Well, I'm quite surprised. Seems that all sorts of fruit are grown in BC
by way of training on trellises. There is a "BC Fruit Production Guide"
available online in PDF format, but requires setting up an account to be able
to download. Other sites describe growing paw-paw, kiwi, and other fruits by
this method in BC, including peaches.
