Notes
'Golden Russet' apple (Malus domestica 'Golden Russet') 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 fresh eating, cooking, juice, and hard cider, and the fruit keeps for 3 months or more. White spring flowers attract bees, so plant a second apple nearby, since it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Flowering quince, Summer savory, and Hyssop.
