Notes
'Almata' apple (Malus domestica 'Almata') is a tree for the food garden, grown for juice and culinary use. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Niels Hansen bred it, and it bears small apples with deep pink flesh. Pink blossoms open in early to late spring and bring in bees. New leaves are bronze.
Pairs well with White spruce, Garlic chives, Carlton daffodil, and Kentucky bluegrass.
