Notes
'Geneva Tremlett's Bitter' apple (Malus domestica 'Geneva Tremlett's Bitter') is a tree for a 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. This apple is grown for hard cider. It blooms in early to late spring and attracts bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Indian Summer rudbeckia, and Switchgrass.
