Notes
'Cheerfull Gold' apple (Malus domestica 'Cheerfull Gold') 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 blooms from early to late spring and attracts bees. Nuvar developed it from Cox's Orange Pippin and Golden Delicious. The apples taste sweet and sharp with a tang, and they store well.
Pairs well with Raspberry, Juneberry, and African marigold.
