Notes
'Braeburn' apple (Malus domestica 'Braeburn') is a tree for food gardens, pollinator gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°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 apples keep for 3 months or more. The tree is self-fertile and bears white spring blooms that attract bees. A New Zealand seedling of 'Lady Hamilton', it is easy for the backyard orchardist.
Pairs well with Garlic chives, African marigold, and Hyssop.
