Notes
'Bonza' apple (Malus domestica 'Bonza') 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 is grown for fresh eating and cooking, and the fruit keeps for 1 to 2 months. Bonza has natural resistance to scab. Bees visit the spring blooms, and it is a good pollinator for Delicious and Red Delicious.
Pairs well with Raspberry, Wild geranium, and September Charm anemone.
