Notes
'Adams's Pearmain' apple (Malus domestica 'Adams's Pearmain') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly into a dense tree and blooms from early to late spring, which draws bees. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. It is grown for fresh eating, and the late fruit keeps for 3 months or more.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Thimbleberry, and Autumn fern.
