Notes
'Elton Beauty' apple (Malus domestica 'Elton Beauty') is a tree for the food garden. 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. It is grown for sharp, juicy apples that ripen in mid-September, with red to crimson skin. Bees visit the spring flowers. Plant a second apple nearby, since this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Honeyberry, Garlic chives, and The President clematis.
