Notes
'Blue Pearmain' apple (Malus domestica 'Blue Pearmain') 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 fresh eating, and the fruit ripens late and keeps for 3 months or more. Bees visit the spring blooms. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Thimbleberry, Nodding onion, and Western sword fern.
