Notes
'Mutsu' apple (Malus domestica 'Mutsu') 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 is grown for fresh eating, cooking, and juice. The big fruits make a deep pie, and they keep for 3 months or more. White spring flowers attract bees, and you need a second apple tree nearby for fruit.
Pairs well with Garlic chives, Burnet, and Hyssop.
