Notes
'Little Pax' apple (Malus domestica 'Little Pax') 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. The apple is grown for fresh eating, with a slightly aromatic flavor, a sweet taste, and good acidity. The flesh is fairly crisp, and the fruit has a distinctive pearmain shape. Pink blooms open in spring and attract bees.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Festiva Maxima peony, and Weigela.
