Notes
'Fall Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'Fall Pippin') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating, cooking, and drying. 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 the flowers attract bees. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. Fruit ripens in mid season.
Pairs well with Honeyberry, Chokeberry, and Stargazer lily.
