Notes
'Beauty of Hampshire' apple (Malus domestica 'Beauty of Hampshire') 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 blooms from early to late spring and attracts bees. The dense canopy grows at a moderate pace. Blenheim Orange may be a parent of this apple, which was introduced in 1850.
