Notes
'Ginger Gold' apple (Malus domestica 'Ginger Gold') is a tree for food gardens and specimen planting. 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. Ginger Harvey introduced it in the 1960s, and it is grown for fresh eating. White and pink spring flowers attract bees, so plant a second apple nearby because it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Garlic chives, and Rhubarb.
