Notes
'Medaille d'Or' apple (Malus domestica 'Medaille d'Or') is a tree for the food garden, grown for hard cider. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It has a spreading, flat-topped shape and grows at a moderate rate. Bees visit the spring flowers, which open late in the season. Plant a second apple nearby, since this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Chardonnay grape, Autumn fern, and Casa Blanca lily.
