Notes
'Hamid's Red Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'Hamid's Red Pippin') 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, with a sweet-sharp flavor and a hint of pear-drop. Pink spring blooms attract bees. Karim Habibi bred it, and it needs a partner tree for pollination.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Lingonberry, and Grape hyacinth.
