Notes
'Eden' apple (Malus domestica 'Eden') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating. 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. Bees visit the spring flowers. Ingleby bred it, and the fruit ripens in mid-September. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Wild geranium, and Prairie dropseed.
