Notes
'Arthur W Barnes' apple (Malus domestica 'Arthur W Barnes') 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. This apple is grown for culinary use, and the fruit is picked in midseason. It blooms in early to late spring and attracts bees. Plant a second apple nearby, because this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Blue sage, and Hazelnut.
