Notes

'Brown Snout' apple (Malus domestica 'Brown Snout') is a tree for the food garden, grown for hard cider. 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 tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. The fruit ripens late.

Pairs well with Raspberry, Calendula, and Cinnamon fern.
