Notes
'New Rock Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'New Rock Pippin') is a tree for the food garden, grown for 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. William Pleasance bred it in 1821. Bees visit the spring blooms, and the fruit keeps for 3 months or more. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Tulip tree, Iris, Blue fescue, and Pink Impression tulip.
