Notes
'Horneburger Pfannkuchen' apple (Malus domestica 'Horneburger Pfannkuchen') 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. Bees visit the flowers, which open from early to late spring. This apple is grown for culinary use, and the late-season fruit has a fine flavor. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Weigela, Kansas peony, Black Parrot tulip, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
