Notes
'Honey Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'Honey 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 blooms in early to late spring and attracts bees. This apple is grown for fresh eating, and its honeyed flavor is best after a good summer. J. Brooke bred it in the 1950s.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Grape hyacinth, and Hyssop.
