Notes
'Morgan Sweet' apple (Malus domestica 'Morgan Sweet') is a tree for the food garden, grown for hard cider, juice, and fresh eating. 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. It blooms in early to late spring, and bees visit the flowers. The tree is large, dense, and fast growing. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Hazelnut, Cheyenne Spirit echinacea, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
