Notes
'Erwin Bauer' apple (Malus domestica 'Erwin Bauer') 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 blooms from early to late spring and draws bees. The fruit is grown for fresh eating and ripens late in the season. Plant a second apple nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Honeyberry, Chokeberry, and Stargazer lily.
