Notes
'Hubbardston Nonesuch' apple (Malus domestica 'Hubbardston Nonesuch') 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. The fruit is grown for fresh eating. It is large with clear red skin, though color varies, and the white flesh is sweet, rich, and moderately firm. White spring flowers attract bees, but this tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby.
Pairs well with Honeyberry, Lingonberry, Grape hyacinth, and Alaska violet.
