Notes
'Golden Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'Golden Pippin') is a tree for fresh eating, cooking, juice, and hard cider. 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. Light pink flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile. The fruit ripens late and keeps for 1 to 2 months.
Pairs well with Hazelnut, Pink Lemonade blueberry, Johnny jump up, and Garlic chives.
