Notes
'Lady Henniker' apple (Malus domestica 'Lady Henniker') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating and cooking. 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. Bees visit the spring blooms. Gardener John Perkins raised it from seed in the 1840s. Plant a second apple nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Garlic chives, and Indian grass.
