Notes
'Morley's Seedling' apple (Malus domestica Morleys Seedling) is a tree for the food garden. 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 draws bees. This apple is grown for culinary use, and the fruit keeps for 3 months or more. It is not self-fertile, so plant another apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Saucer magnolia, Little bluestem, and Queen of Night tulip.
