Notes
'Gano' apple (Malus domestica 'Gano') 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. Its dense, moderate-growing form blooms in early to late spring, and the flowers attract bees. Gano is a Ben Davis type, and the late-season fruit is grown for cooking.
Pairs well with Serviceberry, Cat mint, and Cheyenne Spirit echinacea.
