Notes
'Michelin' apple (Malus domestica 'Michelin') is a tree for the food garden, grown for hard cider. 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. Its spring flowers attract bees. The fruit is picked late and keeps for 2 to 3 weeks. It is partially self-fertile, so a nearby apple tree can help it set more fruit.
Pairs well with Lily of the valley, African marigold, and Festiva Maxima peony.
