Notes
'Macoun' apple (Malus domestica 'Macoun') is a tree for the food garden and for use as a specimen. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. 'Macoun' apples are grown for fresh eating, with a tart-sweet, complex flavor and a darker peel. White and pink blooms open in spring and attract bees. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Autumn Gold maidenhair tree, Nodding onion, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
