Notes
'Allington Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'Allington Pippin') 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. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. The fruit is grown for fresh eating and baking, and it keeps its shape when cooked. Thomas Laxton bred it in the 1870s.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, African marigold, and Hummingbird's mint.
