Notes
'Envy' apple (Malus domestica 'Envy') is a tree for food gardens and specimen planting. 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 fresh eating and has a sweet-tart flavor, crisp flesh, and deep red peel. Fruit ripens late and keeps for 3 months or more. Plant a second apple nearby, since it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Garlic chives, and Rhubarb.
