Notes
'Earligold' apple (Malus domestica 'Earligold') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating and culinary 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. The medium to large apples ripen early in the season and taste a little tart. They store well and keep their flavor reasonably well. The tree is self-fertile and blooms in early to late spring, which draws bees.
Pairs well with Honeyberry, Hyssop, and Rainbow's End hosta.
