Notes
'Herefordshire Redstreak' apple (Malus domestica 'Herefordshire Redstreak') 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 hard cider. Lord Scudamore bred it in the 17th century. Bees visit the spring blooms, and you need a second apple tree nearby for fruit because this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Star magnolia, High-bush blueberry, Pink Impression tulip, and African marigold.
