Notes
'Nehou' apple (Malus domestica 'Nehou') 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. It blooms in early to late spring and attracts bees. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. It keeps for 2-3 weeks after picking.
Pairs well with Paperbark maple, Sedge, and Spicebush.
