Notes

'Antonovka' apple (Malus domestica 'Antonovka') is a tree for the food garden. 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. It is grown for cooking, fresh eating, and dual-purpose use. Light pink flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. Plant a second apple nearby, because it is not self-fertile.

Pairs well with Honeyberry, Garlic chives, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
