Notes
'Dutch Mignonne' apple (Malus domestica 'Dutch Mignonne') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating and dual purpose use. 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 from early to late spring and attract bees. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. The fruit ripens late and keeps for 3 months or more.
Pairs well with Eastern white pine, Garlic chives, Lingonberry, and Karl Rosenfield peony.
