Notes

'Dabinett' apple (Malus domestica 'Dabinett') is a tree for the food garden, grown for hard cider. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly into a dense tree and blooms from early to late spring, which draws bees. The tree is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit alone. The fruit ripens late in the season and keeps for 2-3 weeks.

Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Chardonnay grape, and Autumn fern.
