Notes
'Devonshire Quarrenden' apple (Malus domestica 'Devonshire Quarrenden') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating and juice. 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. White flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees. The fruit ripens early in the season and does not keep, so plan to eat or press it within a few days. Some fruit carries a distinctive strawberry flavor.
Pairs well with Weigela, Christmas fern, and Grape hyacinth.
