Notes
'Margil' apple (Malus domestica 'Margil') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating and juice. 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 flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile. The small fruit ripens late and keeps for 1 to 2 months.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Burnet, and Pink Impression tulip.
