Notes
'Honeycrisp' apple (Malus domestica 'Honeycrisp') is a tree for the food garden and as a specimen. 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, and the crisp fruit is sweet. The University of Minnesota bred it in the 1960s. Plant a second apple nearby, because it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Flowering quince, High-bush blueberry, Grape hyacinth, and Rhubarb.
