Notes

'Antonovka Kamenichka' apple (Malus domestica 'Antonovka Kamenichka') 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 grows fast into a dense tree and blooms from early to late spring, which draws bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. The fruit has good flavor and is grown for culinary use.

Pairs well with Honeyberry, Garlic chives, and Jerusalem artichoke.
