Notes
'King David' apple (Malus domestica 'King David') 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. Light pink blooms open in early to late spring and attract bees. The tree is grown for fresh eating, cooking, juice, and hard cider. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
