Notes
'Charden' apple (Malus domestica 'Charden') 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 fresh eating, and the fruit keeps for 3 months or more. It blooms in early to late spring and draws bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Garlic chives, Wide Brim hosta, and Red Charm peony.
