Notes
'Coconut Crunch' apple (Malus domestica 'Coconut Crunch') is a tree for food gardens. 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. Garfield Shults bred it in 1982. This apple is grown for fresh eating, and the late-season fruit keeps for 3 months or more. Plant a second apple nearby, since it is not self-fertile, and bees will visit the spring blooms.
Pairs well with Black chokeberry, Queen of Night tulip, and Blue fescue.
