Notes

'Hunthouse' apple (Malus domestica 'Hunthouse') is a tree for food gardens. 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 tree stays small but gives a productive crop of green culinary apples with a simple acid flavor. It blooms in early to late spring and attracts bees. Plant a second apple nearby, since it is not self-fertile.

Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Burnet, and Indian grass.
