Notes
'Brown's Seedling' apple (Malus domestica 'Brown's Seedling') 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 cooking, and the fruit makes a pleasant, mild puree. The fruit ripens late and keeps for 3 months or more. Bees visit the spring flowers, and you will need a second apple tree nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Cinnamon fern, and Bowl of Cream peony.
