Notes
'Irish Peach' apple (Malus domestica 'Irish Peach') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating. 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. Light pink flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination, and pick the fruit early because it does not keep.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Grape hyacinth, and Christmas fern.
