The favorable climate of l'Ile d'Orléans advantageously lends itself to the culture of red fruits. The proximity of the river moderates the climate by delaying the first freezing of autumn and last spring freezing. The grounds of the Orleans type (slightly argillaceous loam) and the sunning due to the convex shape of the island support the culture of these fruits.
