Notes
'Galloway Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'Galloway Pippin') 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 cooking, and it is far better for culinary use than for eating fresh. The fruit ripens late and keeps for 1 to 2 months. Bees visit the spring blooms, and you need a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Plum, High-bush blueberry, and Bowl of Cream peony.
