Notes
'Alfriston' apple (Malus domestica 'Alfriston') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is a cooking apple that cooks down to a puree, and the fruit is also grown for juice. Bees visit the spring blooms, and the fruit ripens late in the season.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Grape hyacinth, Christmas fern, and Iris.
