Notes
'Aromatic Russet' apple (Malus domestica 'Aromatic Russet') 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 has a dense, moderate growing habit. Bees visit the spring flowers, which open from early to late spring. Plant a second apple nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, Pink Lemonade blueberry, and Big bluestem.
