Notes
'King's Acre Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'King's Acre Pippin') 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. King's Acre Nurseries bred it in 1897. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. This apple is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Niobe clematis, and Indian grass.
