Notes
'Karin Schneider' apple (Malus domestica 'Karin Schneider') 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. It blooms in early to late spring, and bees visit the flowers. This apple is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. Mr Schneider developed it as a sport of 'Ingrid Marie'.
Pairs well with Witch hazel, Fire Island hosta, and Grape hyacinth.
