Notes
'Braddick's Nonpareil' apple (Malus domestica 'Braddick's Nonpareil') 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. Grow it for dessert apples with an intense, rich sharpness that sweetens in storage, so it is a good choice for winter keeping. Bees visit the spring blooms. Mr John Braddick raised it in England in 1818.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Bowl of Cream peony, and Pink Impression tulip.
