Notes
'Brushy Mountain Limbertwig' apple (Malus domestica 'Brushy Mountain Limbertwig') 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 grows at a moderate pace and forms a dense shape. Bees visit its flowers in early to late spring. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Raspberry, Calendula, and Polish Spirit clematis.
